Subject: [PATCH] kstrtox: Remove strtobool()

The conversion from strtobool() to kstrtobool() is completed.
So strtobool() can now be removed.

Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

Unless I missed something, the last strtobool() calls have been removed
from -next just 1 or 2 days ago.

So it is maybe good to wait a few days or weeks to apply this patch in
order not to break something somewhere.

For now, see if build-bots agree with me :)


get_maintainer.pl is of now help here, so adding just Andrew Morton, and
Andy Shevchenko (who splitted out this file from kernel.h)
