[lvc-project] [PATCH v3] ocfs2: validate l_tree_depth to avoid out-of-bounds access

The l_tree_depth field is 16-bit (__le16), but the actual
maximum depth is limited to OCFS2_MAX_PATH_DEPTH.

Add a check to prevent out-of-bounds access if l_tree_depth
has an invalid value, which may occur when reading from a
corrupted mounted disk [1].

v3: Change the condition "> OCFS2_MAX_PATH_DEPTH" to ">= OCFS2_MAX_PATH_DEPTH"
v2: Restricted depth to OCFS2_MAX_PATH_DEPTH and moved the check
    to __ocfs2_find_path().
