Subject: [PATCH 1/1] kstrtox: delete saturation in case of overflow

Partially revert

	commit 6e30111dbb4075e3c26c230417b32bc4a1c66831
	lib: fix _parse_integer_limit() to handle overflow

Originally, kstrto* was written in a way to keep simple_strto*()
functions as is, so that they continue to return incorrect result
if integer overflow occurs.

Saturation doesn't do anything useful, it just creates second incorrect
value and potentially breaks simple_strto*() users.

Caller can decide to saturate itself anyway.

Move saturation to memparse() from where the idea came from.
