Not sure how I can deduct from the name what function is actually
doing. Suggested new name: int_array_parse_user().

int int_array_parse_user(const char __user *from, size_t count, int **array);

(Note that we have _user suffix for many APIs in the kernel that does
interact with user space memory)

+ * @tkns: Returned pointer to sequence of integers

array
