Summary: Trivial fix for obscure bug in os.urandom()

Initial Comment:
The new os.urandom function checks for whether it has
set _urandomfd with "if not _urandomfd:" .  But this is
incorrect; on some systems, if fd 0 has been closed, it
is possible for _urandomfd to be 0.  Instead, the check
should be "if _urandomfd is None".
