init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup

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.
