Subject: net/ixgbevf: make array api static const, makes object smaller
Patch-mainline: v5.4-rc1
Git-commit: 64d8db7dcf683f92c9c87cb528626804f261c5ee
References: jsc#SLE-7979 jsc#SLE-7981

Don't populate the array API on the stack but instead make it
static const. Makes the object code smaller by 58 bytes.

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  82969	   9763	    256	  92988	  16b3c	ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  82815	   9859	    256	  92930	  16b02	ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.o

(gcc version 9.2.1, amd64)
