log_buf_len_setup does not check input argument before passing it to
simple_strtoull. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "log_buf_len",
without its value, is set in command line and thus causes the following
panic.

This patch adds a check to prevent the panic.

v2:
Split out the addition of pr_fmt and the unsigned update
v3:
Use more clear error info
Change unsigned to unsigned in to avoid checkpatch.pl warning
