At many places in kernel, It is necessary to convert sysfs input
to corrosponding bool value e.g. "false" or "0" need to be converted
to bool false, "true" or "1" need to be converted to bool true,
places where such conversion is needed currently check the input
string manually, kstrtobool() can be utilized at such places but
currently it doesn't have support to accept "false"/"true".
Add support to accept "false"/"true" as valid string in kstrtobool().
