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.
