mm: fix RODATA_TEST failure "rodata_test: test data was not read only"
On powerpc, RODATA_TEST fails with message the following messages:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 528K
rodata_test: test data was not read only
This is because GCC allocates it to .data section:
c0695034 g O .data 00000004 rodata_test_data
Since commit 056b9d8a7692 ("mm: remove rodata_test_data export, add
pr_fmt"), rodata_test_data is used only inside rodata_test.c By
declaring it static, it gets properly allocated into .rodata section
instead of .data:
c04df710 l O .rodata 00000004 rodata_test_data
Fixes: 056b9d8a7692 ("mm: remove rodata_test_data export, add pr_fmt")
