block: reject invalid queue attribute values



Instead of using simple_strtoul which "converts" invalid numbers to 0,
use strict_strtoul and perform error checking to ensure that userspace
passes us a valid unsigned long. This addresses problems with functions
such as writev, which might want to write a trailing newline -- the
newline should rightfully be rejected, but the value preceeding it
should be preserved.

Fixes BZ#46981.
