LU-6266 libcfs: add kstrtoul() compat function

The kstrtoul() function was only added to the upstream kernel in
commit v2.6.38-6934-g33ee3b2. While it is backported to RHEL6 2.6.32
kernels, it does not exist for vanilla kernels before that point.

The patch http://review.whamcloud.com/5700 added uses of kstrtoul()
to Lustre that break the build for older kernels.  While it would be
possible to convert those calls to simple_strtoul(), that function
is deprecated in newer kernels, and checkpatch.pl will generate a
warning, so using kstrtoul() is the right thing for newer kernels.

Add a wrapper function for kstrtoul() for older kernels.  There are
other kstrto*() functions in newer kernel not added by this patch.
Only the one function call is currently used, though it would be good
to convert Lustre over to using this family of functions instead of
simple_strtoul() in the future.
