Fix the UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds issue below by updating
counter nvm->nregions before the first access to flexible-array
member nvm->regions[].

from kernel bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220823

Dec 15 22:01:52 orpheus kernel: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.18.1/work/linux-6.18/drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_intel_dg.c:750:15

Notice that this flexible array is annotated with the counted_by()
attribute, hence the counter must always be updated before the
first access to the array.
