libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()
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. Make 'val' unsigned long long as what kstrtoull() takes, this will eliminate the compile warning on no 64-bit architectures.
