Perftest: replace rand() with getrandom() during MR buffer initialization

[HelloTcc]

rand() has very poor performance in some OS.

ib_send_bw will spend a lot of time during MR initialization when testing large packects in above scenario.

A simple test has been done:

#define HUGE_MR_SIZE 2147483647
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        char *a = malloc(HUGE_MR_SIZE * sizeof(char));
        unsigned int i;
        char *tmp = a;
        int ret;

        srand(time(NULL));
        if (a == NULL)
                exit(1);

        if (argc <= 1)
                goto fall_back;

        for (i = HUGE_MR_SIZE; i > 0;) {
                ret = getrandom(tmp, i, 0);
                if (ret < 0)
                        goto fall_back;
                tmp += ret;
                i -= ret;
        }
        goto out;

fall_back:
        for(i = 0; i < HUGE_MR_SIZE; i++)
                a[i] = (char)rand();
out:
        free(a);
        return 0;
}

time ./a.out
real    5m35.033s
user    5m33.546s
sys     0m0.918s

time ./a.out 1

real    0m6.454s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m6.449s

As shown in the test above, getrandom() has a much better performance, so replace rand() with it.
The test in perftest has also been done.

This patch fixes #89

Thanks for your contribution!

"getrandom available" is uncorrect message, should be not available/found instead

[HelloTcc]

Thanks，my mistake.

Sorry for this, I just checked witha setup that doesn't have sys/random.h and it failed to compile,I think it should be checked with ac_try_link because now if we don't have sys/random.h the configuration will fail and the HAVE_SYS_RANDOM_H will not help us in this situation

[HelloTcc]

I think it could be fixed by removing the AC_MSG_ERROR. I test it by removing my sys/random.h, and it works.

It seems that the log sys/random.h... no is enough

[HassanKhadour]

great, it solved the issue.
Thanks for your contribution.
