dcache: Replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul in set_dhash_entries
Replace simple_strtoul() with the recommended kstrtoul() for parsing the 'dhash_entries=' 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.
