[Drbd-dev] [PATCH] lib/lru_cache: Fixed array overflow caused by incorrect boundary handling.

This problem occurs when malloc element failed on the first time.
At this time, the counter i is 0. When it's released, we subtract 1
in advance without checking, which will cause i to become UINT_MAX,
resulting in array overflow.
