sysctl: handle overflow in proc_get_long

sysctl: handle overflow in proc_get_long

proc_get_long() is a funny function.  It uses simple_strtoul() and for a
good reason.  proc_get_long() wants to always succeed the parse and
return the maybe incorrect value and the trailing characters to check
against a pre-defined list of acceptable trailing values.  However,
simple_strtoul() explicitly ignores overflows which can cause funny
things like the following to happen:

  echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
  cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
  0

(Which will cause your system to silently die behind your back.)

On the other hand kstrtoul() does do overflow detection but does not
return the trailing characters, and also fails the parse when anything
other than '\n' is a trailing character whereas proc_get_long() wants to
be more lenient.

Now, before adding another kstrtoul() function let's simply add a static
parse strtoul_lenient() which:
 - fails on overflow with -ERANGE
 - returns the trailing characters to the caller

The reason why we should fail on ERANGE is that we already do a partial
fail on overflow right now.  Namely, when the TMPBUFLEN is exceeded.  So
we already reject values such as 184467440737095516160 (21 chars) but
accept values such as 18446744073709551616 (20 chars) but both are
overflows.  So we should just always reject 64bit overflows and not
special-case this based on the number of chars.
