Subject: lib: fix memparse() to handle overflow
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 13:33:34 +0300

Since '_parse_integer_limit()' (and so 'simple_strtoull()') is now capable
to handle overflow, adjust 'memparse()' to handle overflow (denoted by
ULLONG_MAX) returned from 'simple_strtoull()'.  Also use
'check_shl_overflow()' to catch an overflow possibly caused by processing
size suffix and denote it with ULLONG_MAX as well.
