Subject: [PATCH net] rtnetlink: fix frame size warning in rtnl_fill_ifinfo

Fix the following warning:

  CC      net/core/rtnetlink.o
net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function ‘rtnl_fill_ifinfo’:
net/core/rtnetlink.c:1308:1: warning: the frame size of 2864 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
 }
 ^

By declaring the huge stack allocations as static. We can do so because
we hold rtnl.
