[PATCH v2] libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()

[Yicong Yang <yangyicong@hisilicon.com>]

The attr->set() receive a value of u64, but simple_strtoll() is used
for doing the conversion. It will lead to the error cast if user inputs
a negative value.

Use kstrtoull() instead of simple_strtoll() to convert a string got
from the user to an unsigned value. The former will return '-EINVAL' if
it gets a negetive value, but the latter can't handle the situation
correctly.
