A BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request in dbAllocBits issue
is reported by a modified Syzkaller-based kernel fuzzing tool that
we developed.
The issue arises because dbAllocBits() uses bmp->db_agfree[agno],
and agno is used without verification after being calculated using
`blkno >> bmp->db_agl2size;`. And blkno is calculated using
`blkno = le64_to_cpu(dp->start) + (word << L2DBWORD);`. If a
corrupted image is read at runtime, an unreasonable db->start might
be read, causing agno to be excessively large.
To fix this vulnerability, I added the db_valid_agno() helper
function to verify the validity of blkno and agno. This verification
is added before all similar places that use bmp->db_agfree[agno],
including dbAllocBits(), dbFreeBits(), and dbAllocDmapBU().
