kconfig: improve seed in randconfig
'make randconfig' uses glibc's rand function, and the seed of that PRNG is set via: srand(time(NULL)); But 'time()' only increases once every second - freezing the randconfig result within a single second. My Nehalem testbox does randconfig much faster than 1 second and i have a few scripts that do 'randconfig until condition X' loops. Those scripts currently waste a lot of CPU time due to randconfig changing its seed only once per second currently. Change the seed to be micrseconds based. (I checked the statistical spread of the seed - the now.tv_sec*now.tv_usec multiplication there further improves it.)
