This fixes /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid on kernels with mainline commit
32927393dc1ccd60fb2bdc05b9e8e88753761469 ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers
to ->proc_handler") ‒ 5.7-rc1 and up
The access_ok() check in copy_to_user() in proc_copyout_string() would
always fail, so all userspace reads and writes would fail with EINVAL
proc_dostring() strips only the final new-line,
but simple_strtoul() doesn't actually need a back-trimmed string ‒
writing "012345678 \n" is still allowed, as is "012345678zupsko", &c.
This alters what happens when an invalid value is written ‒
previously it'd get set to what-ever simple_strtoul() returned
(probably 0, thereby resetting it to default), now it does nothing
