[hurd, commited] hurd: Make getrandom a stub inside the random translato


From: Samuel Thibault
Subject: [hurd, commited] hurd: Make getrandom a stub inside the random translator
Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2021 08:54:57 +0100

glibc uses /dev/urandom for getrandom(), and from version 2.34 malloc
initialization uses it. We have to detect when we are running the random
translator itself, in which case we can't read ourself.
