fs/proc/task_mmu.c v1: fix clear_refs_write() input sanity check

Browse source 
Andrew Morton pointed out similar string hacking and obfuscated check for
zero-length input at the end of the function, David Rientjes suggested to
use strict_strtol to replace simple_strtol, this patch cover above
suggestions, add removing of leading and trailing whitespace from user
input.  It does not change function behavious.
