When calculating a random UUID we use a weak seed. Use a RNG device if present to increase entropy.

Changes in v2:
- fix dm_rng_read() parameters
- add missing include

This seems a little backwards to me. The caller should request a RNG device, getting either a hardware one or a software one, and then call the uclass method to get the uuid.
ret = uclass_get_device(UCLASS_RNG, 0, &devp);if (ret) {ret = dm_rng_read(devp, &randv, sizeof(randv));if (ret < 0)randv = 0;}if (randv)srand(randv);else+#endif
