A RT fix for lockdep. lockdep invokes prandom_u32() to create cookies. This 

worked until prandom_u32() was switched to the real random generator, which
 takes a spinlock for extraction, which does not work on RT when invoked
 from atomic contexts. lockdep has no requirement for real random numbers
 and it turns out sched_clock() is good enough to create the cookie. That
 works everywhere and is faster.
