The padding bytes in the statsdata struct are not initialized, due to
which valgrind throws a warning:

mapping size even if it is bigger than the file size.
* nscd/mem.c (mempool_alloc): When resizing the file make sure the
limit in max_db_size is not exceeded. Don't use mremap, just
posix_fallocate is enough (according to Linus). Use posix_fallocate
correctly.

and add sanity checks for it.
