The code finds, the '%' sign in an ipv6 address and copies that to a buffer allocated on the stack. It then ignores that buffer, and passes 'pct' to simple_strtoul(), which doesn't work right because we're comparing 'endp' against a completely different string. Fix it by passing the correct pointer. While we're at it, this is a good candidate for conversion to strict_strtoul as well.
