[PATCH] fs: remove obsolete comments on member ordering of random layout struct

From: Dawei Li
Date: Tue Feb 07 2023 - 08:15:35 EST


Structures marked with __randomize_layout are supposed to reorder layout
of members randomly. Although layout is not guranteed to be reordered
since dependency on hardening config, but let's not make assumption such
as "member foo is first".
