pic32: use LCG algorithm for generated random index of TLBWR instruction
The LFSR algorithm, used for generating random TLB indexes for TLBWR
instruction, was inclined to produce a degenerate sequence in some cases.
For example, for 16-entry TLB size and Wired=1, it gives: 15, 6, 7, 2,
7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2...
When replaced with LCG algorithm from ISO/IEC 9899 standard, the sequence
looks much better, with about the same computational effort needed.
