[PATCH v2 0/2] x86/vdso: Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtouint()

From: Habil Eren Türker

This patch series replaces the deprecated simple_strtoul() function
with the safer kstrtouint() variant in the x86 vdso setup code.

The simple_strtoul() function is deprecated as it silently ignores
overflows. Proper bounds and lineer error checking are introduced.

Changes in v2:
- Fixed the logical short-circuit operator bug in parsing error paths
where invalid inputs could trigger deceptive warning logs.
- Refactored error handling into a linear flow with unlikely() macros
to avoid branch misprediction.
