[PATCH] net/ice: fix support for 3 scheduler levels

[PATCH] net/ice: fix support for 3 scheduler levels

[Bruce Richardson]

When using only 3 scheduler levels, the VSI node needs to be a node
further down the scheduler hierarchy, rather than one up it as with all
other possible level settings (5-9). Take account of this possibility in
the code.

Fixes: 4ace7701eb44 ("net/ice: provide parameter to limit scheduler layers")
