From: Bryam Vargas <[email protected]>

get_cache_segment() scans the segment map up to cache->n_segs, the
physical device segment count, but cache_segs_init() only initializes
the first cache_info->n_segs segments. A crafted image with
cache_info->n_segs smaller than the device count leaves the remaining
pcache_cache_segment structs zeroed (segment.data == NULL), and the
allocator can hand one to cache_kset_close(), which writes through the
returned segment's data pointer with no NULL check.

Bound the allocator's search to cache_info->n_segs so only initialized
segments are ever returned. A conforming cache sets n_segs equal to the
device segment count, so this rejects nothing legitimate.
