randstruct: Reorganize Kconfigs and attribute macros
In preparation for Clang supporting randstruct, reorganize the Kconfigs, move the attribute macros, and generalize the feature to be named CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT for on/off, CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL for the full randomization mode, and CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE for the cache-line sized mode.

-config GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT
- bool "Randomize layout of sensitive kernel structures"
- select MODVERSIONS if MODULES
- help
- If you say Y here, the layouts of structures that are entirely
- function pointers (and have not been manually annotated with
- __no_randomize_layout), or structures that have been explicitly
- marked with __randomize_layout, will be randomized at compile-time.
- This can introduce the requirement of an additional information
- exposure vulnerability for exploits targeting these structure
- types.
-
- Enabling this feature will introduce some performance impact,
- slightly increase memory usage, and prevent the use of forensic
- tools like Volatility against the system (unless the kernel
- source tree isn't cleaned after kernel installation).
-
- The seed used for compilation is located at
- scripts/gcc-plugins/randomize_layout_seed.h. It remains after
- a make clean to allow for external modules to be compiled with
- the existing seed and will be removed by a make mrproper or
- make distclean.

- This plugin was ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:

-config GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE
- bool "Use cacheline-aware structure randomization"
- depends on GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT
- depends on !COMPILE_TEST # do not reduce test coverage
- help
- If you say Y here, the RANDSTRUCT randomization will make a
- best effort at restricting randomization to cacheline-sized
- groups of elements. It will further not randomize bitfields
- in structures. This reduces the performance hit of RANDSTRUCT
- at the cost of weakened randomization.
