Subject: [net-next 13/14] net/ixgbevf: make array api static const, makes object smaller

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

Don't populate the array API on the stack but instead make it
static const. Makes the object code smaller by 58 bytes.

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  82969	   9763	    256	  92988	  16b3c	ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  82815	   9859	    256	  92930	  16b02	ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.o

(gcc version 9.2.1, amd64)
