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.

Do we have already test cases to cover this?

Shouldn't be an empty line in the definition block.

and it would be better to preserve reversed xmas tree order (to some extent).
char *endptr; /* local pointer to end of parsed string */
unsigned long long ret = simple_strtoull(ptr, &endptr, 0);
unsigned int shl = 0;

Do we need to check for shl? Yes, it will be an additional check below,
but do we care?

Unneeded parentheses, and ? should be on the previous line.
With that said, I prefer to see the regular conditional instead:
ret = check_shl_overflow(...);
if (unlikely(ret))
ret = ...
else
ret = val;

In
static const struct cmdline_test_memparse_entry testdata[] = {
...
{ "1111111111111111111T", "", ULLONG_MAX },
...
};
the whole string is valid and so should be recognized by memparse(). Next,
1111111111111111111 fits unsigned long long but 1111111111111111111 << 40
is too large and should be catched by check_shl_overflow().

But if there is a case already, how does it pass?
My understanding is that if we modify the code behaviour the test cases should
be amended at the same time. I guess I missed something here.
