qcacld-3.0: Use static contexts when checking magic of stack memory

The kernel is unmapping the virtual address of memory allocated on the stack.
To avoid kernel page fault when delayed handlers try to check the out of scope
structures magic value for liveness, make the contexts static.

A better solution is under development but will need more testing.

Below hdd functions are taken care of:
hdd_get_bpf_offload
hdd_get_tsm_stats
wlan_hdd_get_link_status
wlan_hdd_get_rssi
wlan_hdd_get_snr
wlan_hdd_get_linkspeed_for_peermac
wlan_hdd_get_class_astats
wlan_hdd_get_temperature
