[Skiboot] [PATCH v2 1/4] core/flash: Allow OPAL flash calls for size equal to flash

A bounds checking mistake prevents opal_flash_{read,write,erase} calls
from having a length equal to the size of the flash. This bug has been
present since the beginning (e7d1f60e core/flash: Add flash API) of
these calls.

Until before d6a5b53f libflash/blocklevel: Add blocklevel_smart_erase()
6/4/2017 none of our tools would have performed a single command for the
full size of the flash. It would still have be possible to persuade `dd`
to do this by using a block size equal to the size of the flash or other
mtd related tools.

Any pflash built with blocklevel_smart_erase() will perform one call to
Linux and then Skiboot for the size of flash.
