fscache_set_key() can incur an out-of-bounds read, reported by KASAN:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fscache_alloc_cookie+0x5b3/0x680 [fscache]
 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88084ff056d4 by task mount.nfs/32615

and also reported by syzbot at https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/8/236

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fscache_set_key fs/fscache/cookie.c:120 [inline]
  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fscache_alloc_cookie+0x7a9/0x880 fs/fscache/cookie.c:171
  Read of size 4 at addr ffff8801d3cc8bb4 by task syz-executor907/4466

This happens for any index_key_len which is not divisible by 4 and is
larger than the size of the inline key, because the code allocates exactly
index_key_len for the key buffer, but the hashing loop is stepping through
it 4 bytes (u32) at a time in the buf[] array.

Fix this by calculating how many u32 buffers we'll need by using
DIV_ROUND_UP, and then using kcalloc() to allocate a precleared allocation
buffer to hold the index_key, then using that same count as the hashing
index limit.

Fixes: ec0328e46d6e ("fscache: Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies")
