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.
