Roger Pau Monné suggested making xenbus_scanf() stricter instead of
using a custom parser.  Christoph Hellwig asked why the normal vsscanf()
cannot be made stricter.  Richard Weinberger mentioned Linus Torvalds’s
suggestion of using ! to allow overflow.

Changes since v1:

- Better commit messages.
- Use ! to explicitly opt-in to allowing overflow.
- Treat overflow as a conversion failure instead of returning ERANGE.
- Drop the first patch (removal of simple_strtoll()) as it breaks
  bcache.
- Stop skipping spaces in vsscanf() instead of adding a separate
  vsscanf_strict() function.

Demi Marie Obenour (3):
  vsscanf(): Integer overflow is a conversion failure
  vsscanf(): do not skip spaces
  Strict XenStore entry parsing
