Subject: lib: update single-char callers of strtobool()

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit 1404297ebf76fd91a41de215fc8c94c2619e5fdb upstream.

Some callers of strtobool() were passing a pointer to unterminated
strings.  In preparation of adding multi-character processing to
kstrtobool(), update the callers to not pass single-character pointers,
and switch to using the new kstrtobool_from_user() helper where
possible.
