[PATCH v4] common/sfc: replace out of bounds condition with static_assert

The sfc base code had its own definition of static assertions
using the out of bound array access hack. Replace it with a
static_assert like rte_common.h.

The use of null pointer to compute offset is not always a constant
in older versions of clang. Use standard offsetof() instead.
