selftests/net: mptcp: fix uninitialized variable warnings

[ Upstream commit 00a4f8fd9c750f20d8fd4535c71c9caa7ef5ff2f ]

Same init_rng() in both tests. The function reads /dev/urandom to
initialize srand(). In case of failure, it falls back onto the
entropy in the uninitialized variable. Not sure if this is on purpose.
But failure reading urandom should be rare, so just fail hard. While
at it, convert to getrandom(). Which man 4 random suggests is simpler
and more robust.

    mptcp_inq.c:525:6:
    mptcp_connect.c:1131:6:

    error: variable 'foo' is used uninitialized
    whenever 'if' condition is false
    [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

----

When input is randomized because this is expected to meaningfully
explore edge cases, should we also add
1. logging the random seed to stdout and
2. adding a command line argument to replay from a specific seed
I can do this in net-next, if authors find it useful in this case.
