[dm-devel] [PATCH][next] dm btree: Fix potential read of array with negative index i

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

The call to lower_bound can return -1 if the key is not found
with the bsearch, leading to a negative index access into
array node->keys[]. Ensure this cannot occur by checking for
a negative index before reading from the array.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Negative array index read")
Fixes: d69e2e7e28bd ("dm btree: improve btree residency")
