Subject: [PATCH][next] scsi: mpt3sas: Replace unnecessary dynamic allocation
 with a static one

Dynamic memory allocation isn't actually needed and it can be
replaced by statically allocating memory for struct object
io_unit_pg3 with 36 hardcoded entries for its GPIOVal array.

Also, this helps the with ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds
by fixing the following warning:

drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c: In function ‘BRM_status_show’:
drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c:3257:63: warning: array subscript 24 is above array bounds of ‘U16[1]’ {aka ‘short unsigned int[1]’} [-Warray-bounds]
 3257 |  backup_rail_monitor_status = le16_to_cpu(io_unit_pg3->GPIOVal[24]);
./include/uapi/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:36:51: note: in definition of macro ‘__le16_to_cpu’
   36 | #define __le16_to_cpu(x) ((__force __u16)(__le16)(x))
      |                                                   ^
drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c:3257:31: note: in expansion of macro ‘le16_to_cpu’
 3257 |  backup_rail_monitor_status = le16_to_cpu(io_unit_pg3->GPIOVal[24]);
