It's possible to overflow the offset to get a negative value, which might
crash the system, or possibly leak kernel data.
Here is a crash log when using 2500000000 as offset:

Use kstrtoint instead of simple_strtoul. It will work as the code already
set the delimiter byte to '\0' and we only do it when the field is not
empty.
Tested with offsets -1, 2500000000, UINT_MAX and INT_MAX. Also tested with
examples documented at Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst and other
registrations from packages on Ubuntu.
