mm/mm_init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtobool in set_hashdist

Use bool for 'hashdist' and replace simple_strtoul() with kstrtobool() for
parsing the 'hashdist=' boot parameter.  Unlike simple_strtoul(), which
returns an unsigned long, kstrtobool() converts the string directly to
bool and avoids implicit casting.

Check the return value of kstrtobool() 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 'hashdist = 0' if parsing fails, instead of leaving the
default value (HASHDIST_DEFAULT) unchanged.

Additionally, kstrtobool() accepts common boolean strings such as "on" and
"off".
