The NoMMU kernel is broken for QEMU virt machine from Linux-5.9-rc6
because clint_time_val is used even before CLINT driver is probed
at following places:
1. rand_initialize() calls get_cycles() which in-turn uses
clint_time_val
2. boot_init_stack_canary() calls get_cycles() which in-turn
uses clint_time_val
The issue#1 (above) is fixed by providing custom random_get_entropy()
for RISC-V NoMMU kernel. For issue#2 (above), we remove dependency of
boot_init_stack_canary() on get_cycles() and this is aligned with the
boot_init_stack_canary() implementations of ARM, ARM64 and MIPS kernel.
Fixes: 0db46a28e92b ("RISC-V: Resurrect the MMIO timer implementation for M-mode systems")
