I don't have any objections functionanlity-wise but can we do sth like
the following instead?

static inline struct cgroup *cgroup_ancestor(struct cgroup *cgrp,
					     int ancestor_level)
{
	if (cgrp->level < ancestor_level)
		return NULL;

	while (cgrp->level > ancestor_level)
		cgrp = cgroup_parent(cgrp);
	return cgrp;
}

Thanks.
