[PATCH v2 2/5] lightnvm: check for max sector

[Sudip Mukherjee]

If max_phys_sect is greater than 256 then its obviously greater than 1
so we will never hit the else-if block. And moreover, if we check for
max_phys_sect at the end then it might happen that we initialize
successfully only to see at the end that this is not supported.
Lets check for max_phys_sect at the beginning and continue
initialization only if it is supported.
