flex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zero

Browse source 
If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using
flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail
to return the data.

This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do
not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used.  Otherwise,
fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts
structures needed and such element may never have been put.  Thus, it will
remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base.

Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all
elements do not fit in the base structure.  This is otherwise unnecessary
since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already
hit a NULL pointer).
