reboot=s... parses the CPU number with simple_strtoul(), but stores
it in an int before checking it against num_possible_cpus(). Very
large values can wrap negative and bypass the range check, leaving
reboot_cpu invalid for migrate_to_reboot_cpu().

Keep the parsed value unsigned until after the range check.

Fixes: f9a90501faac ("reboot: refactor and comment the cpu selection code")
