dpif-netdev: Fix insertion probability

emc_conditional_insert uses pmd->last_cycles and the packet's RSS hash
to generate a random number used to determine whether or not an emc
entry should be inserted. This works for single-packet bursts as
last_cycles is updated for each burst. However, for bursts > 1 packet,
where the packets in the batch generate the same RSS hash,
pmd->last_cycles remains constant for the entire burst also, and thus
cannot be used as a random number for each packet in the burst.

This commit replaces the use of pmd->last_cycles with random_uint32()
for this purpose and subsequently fixes the behavior of the
emc_insert_inv_prob setting for high-throughput (large bursts)
single-flow cases.
