Why not use getrandom in the first try also for __GT_DIR (mkdtemp) and
__GT_FILE
For __GT_NOCREATE (mktemp, tempnam, tmpnam) getrandom is also used
on first try, otherwise randomness is obtained using the clock plus
a linear congruential generator.
Also for getrandom GRND_NONBLOCK is used to avoid blocking indefinitely
on some older kernels.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
