-----------
Avoid taking a write lock in RAND_get_rand_method()
The function RAND_get_rand_method() is called every time RAND_bytes() or
RAND_priv_bytes() is called. We were obtaining a write lock in order to
find the default random method - even though we rarely write. We change
this to a read lock and only fallback to a write lock if we need to.
Partial fix for #20286
