This is the combination of two fixes.  First, use prandom_u32_max() for
efficiency:
-	if (attr->probability <= prandom_u32() % 100)
+	if (attr->probability <= prandom_u32_max(100))
 		return false

And then a bug-fix:
-	if (attr->probability <= prandom_u32_max(100))
+	if (attr->probability < prandom_u32_max(100))
 		return false

Before, probability = 1 would succeed 2% of the time and 99 would
succeed 100% of the time.  (0% was caught by an earlier test.)
