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

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

Use kstrtoull() instead to resolve this issue, -EINVAL will be returned
if a negative value is input.
