Subject: [PATCH] kstrtox: reuse functions from ctype.h

kstrto*() family of functions uses open coded test
for a hexadecimal digit and own implementation of
tolower() function.  This commit changes the code
to use definitions from ctype.h.

Was there a reason not to use code from ctype.h?

I know that ctype.h's tolower() is kinda creepy but
IMO it's still better to reuse.
