[PATCH] net: randomize layout of struct net_device

[Pranav Tyagi <pranav.tyagi03@gmail.com>]

Add __randomize_layout to struct net_device to support structure layout
randomization if CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT is enabled else the macro expands to
do nothing. This enhances kernel protection by making it harder to
predict the memory layout of this structure.
