staging: rtl8192e: make const array broadcast_addr static, reduces object code size

Don't populate const array broadcast_addr on the stack, instead make it
static. Makes the object code smaller by over 40 bytes:

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  63906	   8248	   1216	  73370	  11e9a	rtllib_softmac.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  63806	   8304	   1216	  73326	  11e6e	rtllib_softmac.o

(gcc 6.3.0, x86-64)
