random: mix in architectural randomness in extract_buf()
Mix in any architectural randomness in extract_buf() instead of xfer_secondary_buf(). This allows us to mix in more architectural randomness, and it also makes xfer_secondary_buf() faster, moving a tiny bit of additional CPU overhead to process which is extracting the randomness.
