The erase_range() function handles erasing the flash for a given start
address and length, and can handle an unaligned start address and
length. However in the unaligned start address case we are incorrectly
calculating the remaining size which can lead to incomplete erases.

If we're going to update the remaining size based on what the start
address was then we probably want to do that before we overide the
origin start address. So rearrange the code so that this is indeed the
case.

Good find.
Stewart: I know you usually do, but just to be sure, if you could
respond with the merged sha1 of this so that I'll remember to add a
testcase for this, I'm surprised this wasn't caught in testing.
