task_struct: only use anon struct under randstruct plugin
The original intent for always adding the anonymous struct in task_struct was to make sure we had compiler coverage. However, this caused pathological padding of 40 bytes at the start of task_struct. Instead, move the anonymous struct to being only used when struct layout randomization is enabled.
