Creating a randomization generator opens a CUDA context on the current device, but we don't want that because the default device might not be used.
Approach
Switch back to the functional API which creates a new random state generator on-demand for every function call? Even though this API is deprecated due to less good randomness.
Pre-Merge Checklists
Submitter
[ ] Write a helpfully descriptive pull request title.
[ ] Organize changes into logically grouped commits with descriptive commit messages.
[ ] Document all new functions.
[ ] Click 'details' on the readthedocs check to view the updated docs.
[ ] Write tests for new functions or explain why they are not needed.
[ ] Address any complaints from pep8speaks.
Reviewer
[ ] Actually read all of the code.
[ ] Run the new code yourself; the included tests should make this easy.
[ ] Write a summary of the changes as you understand them.
