To: linux-hardening; +Cc: Kees Cook, Lukas Loidolt, linux-kernel
The performance mode of the gcc-plugin randstruct was shuffling struct
members outside of the cache-line groups. Limit the range to the
specified group indexes.
Cc: linux-hardening@vger.kernel.org

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/f3ca77f0-e414-4065-83a5-ae4c4d25545d@student.tuwien.ac.at
