dm-pcache: validate kset key_num and intra-segment bounds

Two more fields decoded from the cache device go unbounded. The kset
key_num drives cache_kset_crc() and the replay loop in cache_replay(),
the writeback worker and the GC worker, but only the magic and a
fixed-seed CRC are checked first, so a non-last kset whose key_num exceeds
the PCACHE_KSET_KEYS_MAX buffer reads past its end before the CRC compare.
A key's intra-segment offset and length in cache_key_decode() are taken
verbatim, so a key running past its segment is replayed into the cache
tree and the data CRC check and every later read hit then copy adjacent
persistent memory into the caller's bio -- an out-of-bounds read that
leaks to user space. Both fields are controlled by whoever supplies the
cache device (CAP_SYS_ADMIN); the CRC seed is public.

Add kset_onmedia_valid() to bound key_num before any kset read, and
reject a key whose offset plus length, computed in 64 bits, exceeds the
segment data_size. Valid metadata is unaffected.
