[Bug]: Edk2Path.GetContainingModules() can search beyond max limit
### Contact Details

_No response_

### Describe the Bug

The function goes up two parent levels without checking if it has passed the workspace root and all package roots. This means it will scan a directory outside the allowed search areas for an .inf file that would represent the containing module.

To exemplify the problem, ` test_get_containing_module()` will fail if a .inf file is in the user's temporary directory.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-pytool-library/blob/master/edk2toollib/uefi/edk2/path_utilities_test.py#L388

### Reproduction steps

Run `test_get_containing_module()` with a .inf file in your temporary directory.

### Expected behavior

`Edk2Path.GetContainingModules()` does not include invalid files in its search.

### Execution Environment
