reconfig attempted to reuse the 'previous' value for sector-size when
reconfiguring to a BTT mode or blk type namespace, but this may not
always be valid (for example when coming from a memory mode namespace).
Instead, when reconfiguring to BTT or blk, always default to 4096
unless a sector size is explicitly provided.

Looks good to me.

Yep, this both allows the btt namespace creation to continue and, if the user
does actually specify a bogus sector size, i.e.: 

# ./ndctl/ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace0.0 --mode=sector -l0
failed to reconfigure namespace: Invalid argument

It prevents us from leaving our namespace in a zombie state where it is still
there but doesn't show up in 'ndctl list'.
