[PATCH] scsi: mpt3sas_scsih: remove unnecessary statics

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Remove unnecessary static on local variables raid_device.
Such variables are initialized before being used, on
every execution path throughout the functions. The
static has no benefit and, removing it reduces the
object file size.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

@bad exists@
position p;
identifier x;
type T;
@@

static T x@p;
...
x = <+...x...+>

@@
identifier x;
expression e;
type T;
position p != bad.p;
@@

-static
 T x@p;
 ... when != x
     when strict
?x = e;

In the following log you can see a significant difference in the object
file size. This log is the output of the size command, before and after
the code change:

before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 126304   30384    1280  157968   26910 drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.o

after:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 126292   30240    1152  157684   267f4 drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.o
