[SPARK-3578] Fix upper bound in GraphGenerators.sampleLogNormal
GraphGenerators.sampleLogNormal is supposed to return an integer strictly less than maxVal. However, it violates this guarantee. It generates its return value as follows:
```scala
var X: Double = maxVal
while (X >= maxVal) {
val Z = rand.nextGaussian()
X = math.exp(mu + sigma*Z)
}
math.round(X.toFloat)
```
When X is sampled to be close to (but less than) maxVal, then it will pass the while loop condition, but the rounded result will be equal to maxVal, which will violate the guarantee. For example, if maxVal is 5 and X is 4.9, then X < maxVal, but `math.round(X.toFloat)` is 5.
This PR instead rounds X before checking the loop condition, guaranteeing that the condition will hold for the return value.
