[PATCH v1 1/2] stackprotector: move CANARY_MASK and get_random_canary() into stackprotector.h

This has nothing to do with random.c and everything to do with stack
protectors. Yes, it uses randomness. But many things use randomness.
random.h and random.c are concerned with the generation of randomness,
not with each and every use. So move this function into the more
specific stackprotector.h file where it belongs.
