+Subject: 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.
