Currently the invalid string "0x" (only hex prefix, no valid chars followed) would make _parse_integer_fixup_radix() to treat it as octal.
This is due to the fact that the function would only auto-detect hex if and only if there is any valid hex char after "0x". Or it would only go octal instead.
Thankfully this won't affect our unit test, as "0x" would still be treated as failure. Since we treat the result as octal, the result value would be 0, leaving "x" as the tailing char and still fail kstrtox() functions.
But for the incoming memparse_safe(), the remaining string would still be consumed by the caller, and we need to properly treat "0x" as an invalid string.
So this patch would make _parse_integer_fixup_radix() to forcefully go hex no matter if there is any valid char following.
