Comment:

 Well, we cache it in the static "provider" field.  So I guess we could
 remove that field outside of the function and release it in
 crypto_global_cleanup.  The alternative is to make it non-static and re-
 acquire and re-release it every time we call crypto_strongest_rand().

 Is either of these options better than the other?
