timers/migration: Prevent out of bounds access on failure

When tmigr_setup_groups() fails the level 0 group allocation, then the
cleanup derefences index -1 of the local stack array.

Prevent this by checking the loop condition first.

Looking at this and most used patterns for cleanup loops, I would amend
this to

	while (i--) {
		group = stack[i];

which seems to me an equivalent.
