random-util.c: sync dev_urandom implementation to systemd-udev

Current dev_urandom() assumes that reading /dev/urandom
will never block regardless if the random pool is fully
initialized or not.
This assumption is no longer applicable since linux kerrnel
enforces the /dev/urandom entropy initialization from
v5.18-rc2 with the commit:
48bff1053c17 ("random: opportunistically initialize on /dev/urandom reads").

With this, when we use the linux v5.18-rc2 or later,
dev_urandom() will block if enough random pool is not supplied.
It causes the boot delay, typically 1024msec(4msec * 256 = 1024msec)
delay to fill the 256 bits entropy for the case CONFIG_HZ=250.

To prevent this boot delay, this commit syncs dev_urandom()
implementation to the systemd-udev.
The systemd-udev implementation of reading /dev/urandom is as follows.
 - Try to get random with calling getrandom(GRND_INSECURE)
 - If kernel does not support GRND_INSECURE, fallback to GRND_NONBLOCK
 - If enough entropy is not supplied, fallback to reading /dev/urandom,
   this will block when the kernel version is v5.18-rc2 or later

With this modification, dev_urandom() tries not to block
as much as possible.

This modification still keeps the backword compatibility,
dev_random() will never block if the commit(48bff1053c17) is not
applied to the linux kernel, the behavior is same as before
in this case.
