Move the flash size probe into bankValidate()

Previously, bankValidate() could be called (e.g., BSP_flashWrite() -> regionCheckAndErase() -> argcheck() -> bankValidate()) without the probe having happened. When it then invoked BSP_flashCheckId(), unmapped memory could be read, possibly causing a fatal exception.
