The randstruct GCC plugin gets upset when it sees struct path (which is randomized) being assigned from a "void *" (which it cannot type-check). There's no need for these casts, as the entire internal payload use is following a normal struct layout. Convert the enum-based void * offset dereferencing to the new big_key_payload struct. No meaningful machine code changes result after this change, and source readability is improved. Drop the randstruct exception now that there is no "confusing" cross-type assignment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
