sunrpc: prevent out-of-bounds read in __cache_seq_start()

Commit 7b546bd899 ("sunrpc/cache: improve RCU safety in
cache_list walking.") changed the tail of __cache_seq_start()
to unconditionally store

	*pos = ((long long)hash << 32) + 1

before returning, dropping a prior "hash >= cd->hash_size"
guard. When the while loop exits because every remaining
bucket was empty, hash equals cd->hash_size, so the stored
*pos is one position past the table's last valid bucket.
seq_read_iter() caches that index in m->index. A subsequent
pread(2) at the same file offset skips traverse() and hands
the stored index back to __cache_seq_start(), which decodes
hash = cd->hash_size and dereferences
cd->hash_table[cd->hash_size] -- one hlist_head past the end
of the kzalloc'd table.

KASAN reports an eight-byte slab-out-of-bounds read at the
tail of the 2048-byte hash_table allocation for the NFSD
export cache (EXPORT_HASHMAX * sizeof(struct hlist_head) ==
256 * 8).

Reject an input hash that is out of range before touching the
hash table. cache_seq_next() already bounds-checks its own
loop; the start routine needs to be symmetric.
