core/conv/conv_acc.c: use static allocation for vdecoder

Allocation of a new memory is an expensive operation, which
takes place when it's initially unknown, how much memory will
we need, or in order to decrease total memory usage.

The vdecoder struct wasn't require dynamic allocation itself,
so let's use static allocation in order to increase performance.
