[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/4] json-streamer: Apply nesting limit more sanely

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

The nesting limit from commit 29c75dd "json-streamer: limit the
maximum recursion depth and maximum token count" applies separately to
braces and brackets.  This makes no sense.  Apply it to their sum,
because that's actually a measure of recursion depth.
