random: simplify accounting logic

Browse source 
This logic is exactly equivalent to the old logic, but it should
be easier to see what it's doing.

The equivalence depends on one fact from outside this function:
when 'r->limit' is false, 'reserved' is zero.  (Well, two facts;
the other is that 'reserved' is never negative.)
