Subject: [PATCH] scsi: ips: make array 'options' static const, makes object smaller

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

Don't populate the array 'options' on the stack but instead make it
static const. Makes the object code smaller by 143 bytes.

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  94483	  11272	   1184	 106939	  1a1bb	drivers/scsi/ips.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  94244	  11368	   1184	 106796	  1a12c	drivers/scsi/ips.o

(gcc version 9.2.1, amd64)
