security: don't treat structure as an array of struct hlist_head
The initialization of "security_hook_heads" is done by casting it to another structure pointer type, and treating it as an array of "struct hlist_head" objects. This requires an exception be made in "randstruct", because otherwise it will emit an error, reducing the effectiveness of the hardening technique. Instead of using a cast, initialize the individual struct hlist_head elements in security_hook_heads explicitly. This removes the need for the cast and randstruct exception.
