Subject: nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()
The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken() is
wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even though
the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to (NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX
- 1).
Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index
nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it
can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value is
set to the level parameter on device.
This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that the
upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.
