Subject: lib: move strtobool() to kstrtobool()

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit ef951599074ba4fad2d0efa0a977129b41e6d203 upstream.

Create the kstrtobool_from_user() helper and move strtobool() logic into
the new kstrtobool() (matching all the other kstrto* functions).
Provides an inline wrapper for existing strtobool() callers.
