    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.
    
    Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
