Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: make array static const, makes object smaller

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

Don't populate array names_to_check on the stack but instead it
static.  Makes the object code smaller by 56 bytes.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 103512   34380       0  137892   21aa4 ./sound/usb/mixer.o

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 103264   34572       0  137836   21a6c ./sound/usb/mixer.o

gcc version 10.2.0)
