Xiu Jianfeng fb384669cb cgroup: Fix potential overflow issue when checking max_depth
[ Upstream commit 3cc4e13bb1617f6a13e5e6882465984148743cf4 ]

cgroup.max.depth is the maximum allowed descent depth below the current
cgroup. If the actual descent depth is equal or larger, an attempt to
create a new child cgroup will fail. However due to the cgroup->max_depth
is of int type and having the default value INT_MAX, the condition
'level > cgroup->max_depth' will never be satisfied, and it will cause
an overflow of the level after it reaches to INT_MAX.

Fix it by starting the level from 0 and using '>=' instead.

It's worth mentioning that this issue is unlikely to occur in reality,
as it's impossible to have a depth of INT_MAX hierarchy, but should be
be avoided logically.
