mm/kmemleak: fix possible wrong memory scanning period
This commit contains 3 modifications:
1. Convert the type of jiffies_scan_wait to "unsigned long".
2. Use READ/WRITE_ONCE() for accessing "jiffies_scan_wait".
3. Fix the possible wrong memory scanning period. If you set a large
memory scanning period like blow, then the "secs" variable will be
non-zero, however the value of "jiffies_scan_wait" will be zero.
echo "scan=0x10000000" > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
It is because the type of the msecs_to_jiffies()'s parameter is "unsigned
int", and the "secs * 1000" is larger than its max value. This in turn
leads a unexpected jiffies_scan_wait, maybe zero. We corret it by
replacing kstrtoul() with kstrtouint(), and check the msecs to prevent it
larger than UINT_MAX.
