Fix a sparse warning, non static symbol is no declared as such.
And fix a conflict with static function declared extern to include
rtl_wx.h header.

drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtl8192e/rtl_wx.c:1323:24: warning:
symbol 'r8192_wx_handlers_def' was not declared. Should it be static?

As far as I can tell, there's no reason this should
be declared in the .h file and it should stay static
and not be exposed at all.


In the source "rtl_core.c" is possible to use the symbol
r8192_get_wireless_stats, if WIRELESS_EXT has specifics values.

Although this scenario is unlikely to happen, is better prepare
this code for it.

Also, a better way will be delete 'extern' reference to symbol
in header file and source file.
