Fix DB2 hash bitmap page count validation
In __kdb2_hash_open(), bpages is computed from the hash file header
and then used as the size argument when clearing hashp->mapp. The
mapp array has only NCACHED entries, so a malformed hash database can
cause memset() to write past the end of the array. Return EFTYPE if
the computed bitmap page count is negative or greater then NCACHED.
