In '_parse_integer_limit()', replace native integer arithmetic with
'check_mul_overflow()' and 'check_add_overflow()' to check whether
an intermediate result goes out of range, and denote such a case
with ULLONG_MAX. Adjust comment to kernel-doc style as well.

Better late than never, now there is a long-awaited basic
test for 'memparse()' which is provided by cmdline.c.
