[PATCH] tools/sched_ext: fix strtoul() misuse in scx_hotplug_seq()

[David Carlier <devnexen@gmail.com>]

scx_hotplug_seq() uses strtoul() to parse the hotplug sequence number
but checks the result with val < 0. Since strtoul() returns an unsigned
long, it never produces a negative value, making the validation dead
code.

Switch to strtol() so the negative check is meaningful and fix the
format specifier from %lu to %ld to match the long type of val.
