Staging: iio/adc: strict_strtoul was used with a long type variable

The function ad7280_store_balance_timer() parses data from a char*
buffer into a long variable, but uses the the function strict_strtoul
which expects a pointer to an unsigned long variable as its third
parameter.

As Dan Carpenter mentioned, the values are capped a few lines later,
but a check if val is negative is missing.
Now this function will return -ERANGE if there is a representation of
a negative number in buf.

Additionally the checkpatch.pl considers strict_strtoul as obsolete.
I replaced its call with the suggested kstrtoul.
