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.
