Subject: [GIT PULL 16/20] lightnvm: error handling when whole line is bad

From: Igor Konopko <igor.j.konopko@...el.com>

When all the blocks (chunks) in line are marked as bad (offline)
we shouldn't try to read smeta during init process.

Currently we are trying to do so by passing -1 as PPA address,
what causes multiple warnings, that we issuing IOs to out-of-bound
PPAs.
