[PATCH RESEND] crypto: fips - replace simple_strtol with kstrtoint to improve fips_enable

[Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>]

Replace simple_strtol() with the recommended kstrtoint() for parsing the
'fips=' boot parameter. Unlike simple_strtol(), which returns a long,
kstrtoint() converts the string directly to an integer and avoids
implicit casting.

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