QOM object instance should not modify its class state (because
all other objects instanciated from this class get affected).

Instead of modifying the PMBusDeviceClass 'device_num_pages' field
the first time a instance is initialized (in pmbus_pages_alloc),
introduce a new pmbus_pages_num() helper which returns the page
number from the class without modifying the class state.

The code logic become slighly simplified.
