[PATCH 04/14] security/Kconfig.hardening: Remove tautological condition from CC_HAS_RANDSTRUCT

Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been raised to 17.0.1, the '!Clang || Clang >= 16' dependency for
CONFIG_CC_HAS_RANDSTRUCT is always true, so it can be removed.
