checkpatch: kstrtol fix

[Joe Korty]

kstrtol is a substitute for simple_strtol() only when when second
arg of simple_strtol() is NULL. For any other value the functionality
of simple_strtol() cannot be implemented in terms of kstrtol.

So modify checkpatch.pl so that it prints out the following warning only
if the second argument is null:

   WARNING: simple_strtol is obsolete, use kstrtol instead
