Subject: [PATCH 08/18] randstruct: Whitelist UNIXCB cast

This is another false positive in bad cast detection:

net/unix/af_unix.c: In function ‘unix_skb_scm_eq’:
net/unix/af_unix.c:1621:31: note: found mismatched rhs struct pointer types: ‘struct unix_skb_parms’ and ‘char’

  const struct unix_skb_parms *u = &UNIXCB(skb);
                               ^

UNIXCB is:

	#define UNIXCB(skb)     (*(struct unix_skb_parms *)&((skb)->cb))

And ->cb is:

	char                    cb[48] __aligned(8);

This is a rather crazy cast, but appears to be safe in the face of
randomization, so whitelist it in the plugin.
