Replace random with get_cyclecount as a suitable source of entropy for the
balancer. Short circuit for non-SMP/Balance

As discovered by John-Mark Gurney, ULE uses random() which is not
SMP/preemption safe. 

Move the check for SMP and Balancer being enabled above the generation of the
balancing interval.
