Hannes Frederic Sowa c90aeb9482 once: make helper generic for calling functions once
Make the get_random_once() helper generic enough, so that functions
in general would only be called once, where one user of this is then
net_get_random_once().

The only implementation specific call is to get_random_bytes(), all
the rest of this *_once() facility would be duplicated among different
subsystems otherwise. The new DO_ONCE() helper will be used by prandom()
later on, but might also be useful for other scenarios/subsystems as
well where a one-time initialization in often-called, possibly fast
path code could occur.

Hannes Frederic Sowa 46234253b9 net: move net_get_random_once to lib
There's no good reason why users outside of networking should not
be using this facility, f.e. for initializing their seeds.

Therefore, make it accessible from there as get_random_once().
