[PATCH 2/2] kstrto*: do not describe simple_strto*() as obsolete/replaced

["Kars Mulder" <kerneldev@karsmulder.nl>]

The documentation of the kstrto*() functions describes kstrto*() as
"replacements" of the "obsolete" simple_strto*() functions. Both of
these terms are inaccurate: they're not replacements because they have
different behaviour, and the simple_strto*() are not obsolete because
there are cases where they have benefits over kstrto*().

Remove usage of the terms "replacement" and "obsolete" in reference
to simple_strto*(), and instead use the term "preferred over".

Fixes: 4c925d6031f71 ("kstrto*: add documentation")
Fixes: 885e68e8b7b13 ("kernel.h: update comment about simple_strto<foo>() functions")
