Currently when using PBLK with 0 sized metadata both ppa list and meta list points to the same memory since pblk_dma_meta_size() returns 0 in that case. This commit fix that issue by ensuring that pblk_dma_meta_size() always returns space equal to sizeof(struct pblk_sec_meta) and thus ppa list and meta list points to different memory address. Even that in that case drive does not really care about meta_list pointer, this is the easiest way to fix that issue without introducing changes in many places in the code just for 0 sized metadata case.
