Fix selfcheck of various arrays

Stefan Reinauer has reported ridiculous NULL checks for arrays in our
self_check function found by Coverity (CID1130005). This patch removes
the useless checks but keeps and fixes the one responsible for the
flashchips array by exporting the array size in a new constant.

Corresponding to flashrom svn r1799.
