tools: iio: iio_generic_buffer: make num_loops signed

Currently, num_loops is unsigned, but it's set by strtoll, which returns a
(signed) long long int. This could lead to overflow, and it also makes the
check "num_loops < 0" always be false, since num_loops is unsigned.
Setting num_loops to -1 to loop forever is almost working because num_loops
is getting set to a very high number, but it's technically still incorrect.

Fix this issue by making num_loops signed. This also fixes an error found
by Smatch.
