random: use arch_get_random*_early() in random_init()

Browse Source 
While reworking the archrandom handling, commit d349ab99ee ("random:
handle archrandom with multiple longs") switched to the non-early
archrandom helpers in random_init(), which broke initialization of the
entropy pool from the arm64 random generator.

Indeed at that point the arm64 CPU features, which verify that all CPUs
have compatible capabilities, are not finalized so arch_get_random_seed_longs()
is unsuccessful. Instead random_init() should use the _early functions,
which check only the boot CPU on arm64. On other architectures the
_early functions directly call the normal ones.
