netfilter: meta: add PRANDOM support

Browse source

Can be used to randomly match packets e.g. for statistic traffic sampling.

See commit 3ad0040573
("bpf: split state from prandom_u32() and consolidate {c, e}BPF prngs")
for more info why this doesn't use prandom_u32 directly.

Unlike bpf nft_meta can be built as a module, so add an EXPORT_SYMBOL
for prandom_seed_full_state too.
