Subject: KVM: x86/mmu: Use kstrtobool() instead of strtobool()
From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 11b36fe7d4500c8ef73677c087f302fd713101c2 upstream.
strtobool() is the same as kstrtobool().
However, the latter is more used within the kernel.
In order to remove strtobool() and slightly simplify kstrtox.h, switch to
the other function name.
While at it, include the corresponding header file (<linux/kstrtox.h>)
