I did indeed confuse myself, so ignore this patch.

The CVE database is reporting CVEs for the Oracle db code base under
the name berkley_db, so the original patch in question is indeed
correct and the CVEs are valid.

Our CVE reporting has been whitelisting db CVEs.  I'm going to remove
that from the tool and submit a patch to add the db CVEs to the
exclusion list in meta/conf/distro/include/cve-extra-exclusions.inc
since it seems unlikely that we will be moving to a version of db with
these issues fixed.
