[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 098/129] nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d8fd150fe3935e1692bf57c66691e17409ebb9c1 upstream.

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.
