lib/cmdline: fix get_option() for strings starting with hyphen 

When string doesn't have an integer and starts from hyphen get_option()
may return interesting results.  Fix it to return 0.

The simple_strtoull() is used due to absence of simple_strtoul() in a boot
code on some architectures.

Note, the Fixes tag below is rather for anthropological curiosity.
