get rid of an old hack

For structs that cannot be unsized, the layout algorithm sometimes moves
unsized fields to the end of the struct, which circumvented the error
for unexpected unsized fields and returned an unsized layout anyway.

This commit makes it so that the unexpected unsized error is always
returned for structs that cannot be unsized, allowing us to remove an
old hack and fixing some old ICE.
