drbd: Drop unnecessary static



Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before
any use, on every possible execution path through the function.  The
static has no benefit, and dropping it reduces the code size.

The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@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;
// </smpl>

The change in code size is indicates by the following output from the size
command.

before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  67299    2291    1056   70646   113f6 drivers/block/drbd/drbd_nl.o

after:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  67283    2291    1056   70630   113e6 drivers/block/drbd/drbd_nl.o
