[PATCH 17/17] sysctl: assert static storage for DEFINE_CTL_TABLE_POLL()

[Yury Norov <ynorov@nvidia.com>]

DEFINE_CTL_TABLE_POLL() statically initializes an embedded wait queue.
An automatic local poll object cannot provide the persistent lockdep
class key expected by its wait queue lock.

Add ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE() to reject automatic declarations while
preserving file-scope and static local definitions. Leave the underlying
initializer available for embedded objects.
