Subject: [PATCH v2 18/20] randstruct: Enable function pointer struct detection
This enables the automatic structure selection logic in the randstruct
GCC plugin. The selection logic randomizes all structures that contain
only function pointers, unless marked with __no_randomize_layout.

Enabling this feature will introduce some performance impact,
slightly increase memory usage, and prevent the use of forensic
