fork: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul in coredump_filter_setup

Browse source 
Replace simple_strtoul() with the recommended kstrtoul() for parsing the
'coredump_filter=' boot parameter.

Check the return value of kstrtoul() and reject invalid values.  This adds
error handling while preserving behavior for existing values, and removes
use of the deprecated simple_strtoul() helper.  The current code silently
sets 'default_dump_filter = 0' if parsing fails, instead of leaving the
default value (MMF_DUMP_FILTER_DEFAULT) unchanged.

Rename the static variable 'default_dump_filter' to 'coredump_filter'
since it does not necessarily contain the default value and the current
name can be misleading.
