Change reload_for_cpu() in kernel/microcode_core.c to call kstrtoul()
instead of calling obsoleted simple_strtoul().

Patch looks correct but your patch format looks all flipped: first you
have the commit message and then the mail headers you get from git
format-patch, what happened? IOW, it should be the other way around.
Go look at other messages on lkml starting with "tip-bot" in the From:
for a proper patch formatting pls.
Thanks.
