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().
