Subject: [ 48/65] x86, microcode: microcode_core.c simple_strtoul cleanup

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shuah Khan <shuahkhan@...il.com>

commit e826abd523913f63eb03b59746ffb16153c53dc4 upstream.

Change reload_for_cpu() in kernel/microcode_core.c to call kstrtoul()
instead of calling obsoleted simple_strtoul().
