Subject: [PATCH 18/18] lightnvm: pblk: remove unnecessary check

A partial read I/O in pblk is an I/O where some sectors reside in the
write buffer in main memory and some are persisted on the device. Such
an I/O must at least contain 2 lbas, therefore checking for the case
where a single lba is mapped is not necessary.
