param: fix return value handling in param_set_*
In STANDARD_PARAM_DEF, param_set_* handles the case in which strtolfn returns -EINVAL but it may return -ERANGE. If it returns -ERANGE, param_set_* may set uninitialized value to the paramerter. We should handle both cases. The one of the cases in which strtolfn() returns -ERANGE is following: *Type of module parameter is long *Set the parameter more than LONG_MAX Signed-off-by: Satoru Moriya <satoru.moriya@hds.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
