[PATCH iwl-net v2] ice: health.c: fix compilation on gcc 7.5

[PATCH iwl-net v2] ice: health.c: fix compilation on gcc 7.5

[Przemek Kitszel]

GCC 7 is not as good as GCC 8+ in telling what is a compile-time
const, and thus could be used for static storage.
Fortunately keeping strings as const arrays is enough to make old
gcc happy.

Excerpt from the report:
My GCC is: gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0.

Thanks Przemek,

Testing locally gcc 7.5.0 [1] seems happy with this.
