The kernel cmdline reboot= argument allows to specify the CPU used for rebooting, with the syntax `s####` among the other flags, e.g.
reboot=soft,s4 reboot=warm,s31,force
In the early days the parsing was done with simple_strtoul(), later deprecated in favor of the safer kstrtoint() which handles overflow.
But kstrtoint() returns -EINVAL if there are non-digit characters in a string, so if this flag is not the last given, it's silently ignored as well as the subsequent ones.
To fix it, revert the usage of simple_strtoul(), which is no longer deprecated, and restore the old behaviour.
While at it, merge two identical code blocks into one.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the stable kernel tree. Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.
