hwmon: (pmbus) Initialise page count in pmbus_identify()

The `pmbus_identify()` function fails to correctly determine the number
of supported pages on PMBus devices. This occurs because `info->pages`
is implicitly zero-initialised, and `pmbus_set_page()` does not perform
writes to the page register if `info->pages` is not yet initialised.
Without this patch, `info->pages` is always set to the maximum after
scanning.

This patch initialises `info->pages` to `PMBUS_PAGES` before the probing
loop, enabling `pmbus_set_page()` writes to make it out onto the bus
correctly identifying the number of pages. `PMBUS_PAGES` seemed like a
reasonable non-zero number because that's the current result of the
identification process.

Testing was done with a PMBus device in QEMU.
