bpf: Fix bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers for 32bit

The bpf_strtol() and bpf_strtoul() helpers are currently broken on 32bit:

The argument type ARG_PTR_TO_LONG is BPF-side "long", not kernel-side "long"
and therefore always considered fixed 64bit no matter if 64 or 32bit underlying
architecture.

This contract breaks in case of the two mentioned helpers since their BPF_CALL
definition for the helpers was added with {unsigned,}long *res. Meaning, the
transition from BPF-side "long" (BPF program) to kernel-side "long" (BPF helper)
breaks here.

Both helpers call __bpf_strtoll() with "long long" correctly, but later assigning
the result into 32-bit "*(long *)" on 32bit architectures. From a BPF program
point of view, this means upper bits will be seen as uninitialised.

Therefore, fix both BPF_CALL signatures to {s,u}64 types to fix this situation.

Now, changing also uapi/bpf.h helper documentation which generates bpf_helper_defs.h
for BPF programs is tricky: Changing signatures there to __{s,u}64 would trigger
compiler warnings (incompatible pointer types passing 'long *' to parameter of type
'__s64 *' (aka 'long long *')) for existing BPF programs.

Leaving the signatures as-is would be fine as from BPF program point of view it is
still BPF-side "long" and thus equivalent to __{s,u}64 on 64 or 32bit underlying
architectures.

Note that bpf_strtol() and bpf_strtoul() are the only helpers with this issue.
