test_kmod: fix bug which allows negative values on two config options

Browse Source 
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().
