[PATCH v3] mtd: mtd_oobtest: generate consitent data for verification

mtd_oobtest writes OOB, read it back and verify.  The verification is
not correctly done if oobsize is not multiple of 4.  Although the data
to be written and the data to be compared are generated by several
prandom_byte_state() calls starting with the same seed, these two are
generated with the different size and different number of calls.

Due to the implementation of prandom_byte_state() if the size on each
call is not multiple of 4, the resulting data is not always same.

This fixes it by just calling prandom_byte_state() once and using
correct range instead of calling it multiple times for each.
