[PATCH] rbd: make const pointer speaces a static const array

[PATCH] rbd: make const pointer speaces a static const array

[Colin Ian King]

Don't populate the const array spaces on the stack but make it static
const and make the pointer an array to remove a dereference. Shrinks
object code a little too.  Also clean up intent, currently it is spaces
and should be a tab.

Thanks, Colin. Merged into our "testing" branch. It should make v5.17.

perhaps

	while (isspace(**buf))
		(*buf)++;

and not have or use spaces at all.
