Subject: Claude review: drm/ttm: Use common ancestor of evictor and evictee as limit pool

Patch Review
This correctly implements recursive protection semantics for sibling cgroup competition. The commit message explanation is excellent.
The self-eviction guard is important and well-commented:
```c
+ if (evict_walk->alloc_state->only_evict_unprotected &&
+ bo->resource->css == evict_walk->alloc_state->charge_pool)
+ return 0;
```
Without this, `dmem_cgroup_state_evict_valuable` would allow a cgroup to evict from itself (since a cgroup is always allowed to self-evict), which would defeat the purpose of `only_evict_unprotected`.
The common ancestor fallback logic is correct:
```c
+ if (!limit_pool)
+ limit_pool = dmem_cgroup_common_ancestor(bo->resource->css,
+ evict_walk->alloc_state->charge_pool);
```
The extensive comment explaining why the common ancestor matters for `effective_protection` calculation is very helpful.
**One observation**: The `below_min`/`below_low` checks in Patch 5 use `NULL` (global root) while eviction decisions in this patch use the common ancestor. These are at different logical levels - the global check determines the "policy" (should we attempt aggressive eviction?) while the per-candidate check determines the "mechanism" (is this specific buffer evictable?). This design makes sense.
No blocking issues with this patch.
