test_kmod: fix bug which allows negative values on two config options
Parsing with kstrtol() enables values to be negative, and we failed to check for negative values when parsing with test_dev_config_update_uint_sync() or test_dev_config_update_uint_range(). test_dev_config_update_uint_range() has a minimum check though so an issue is not present there. test_dev_config_update_uint_sync() is only used for the number of threads to use (config_num_threads_store()), and indeed this would fail with an attempt for a large allocation. Although the issue is only present in practice with the first fix both by using kstrtoul() instead of kstrtol().
