Subject: [PATCH] lib: zstd: make const array rtbTable static, reduces object code size

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Don't populate const array rtbTable on the stack, instead make it
static. Also split overly long line to clean a chechkpach warning.
Makes the object code smaller by nearly 500 bytes:

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  13297	    104	      0	  13401	   3459	lib/zstd/fse_compress.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  12742	    160	      0	  12902	   3266	lib/zstd/fse_compress.o

(gcc 6.3.0, x86-64)
