platform/x86: dell_rbu: avoid uninit value usage in packet_size_write()

Ensure the temp value has been properly parsed from the user-provided
buffer and initialized to be used in later operations.  While at it,
prefer a convenient kstrtoul() helper.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace static
analysis tool.
