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.
