[PATCH v2 3/3] powerpc/pseries: wire up rng during setup_arch

The platform's RNG must be available before random_init() in order to be
useful for initial seeding, which in turn means that it needs to be
called from setup_arch(), rather than from an init call. Fortunately,
each platform already has a setup_arch function pointer, which means
it's easy to wire this up for each of the three platforms that have an
RNG. This commit also removes some noisy log messages that don't add
much.
