Replace the use of rte_get_timer_cycles() with getentropy() for seeding the pseudo-random number generator. getentropy() provides a more truly random value.
getentropy() doens't exist in libc versions earler than 2.25, and it also (like Stephen mentioned) requires the getrandom() syscall not available until Linux 3.17.
If this is deemed too much of a limitation, I'll change to /dev/urandom-based seeding.
