[PATCH RESEND] init: Replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup

From: Thorsten Blum

Date: Sat Nov 22 2025 - 06:46:13 EST


Replace simple_strtoul() with the recommended kstrtoul() for parsing the
'lpj=' boot parameter.

Check the return value of kstrtoul() and reject invalid values. This
adds error handling while preserving existing behavior for valid values,
and removes use of the deprecated simple_strtoul() helper.
