fault-inject: parse as natural 1-based value for fail-nth write interface
The value written to fail-nth file is parsed as 0-based. Parsing as
one-based is more natural to understand and it enables to cancel the
previous setup by simply writing '0'.
This change also converts task->fail_nth from signed to unsigned int.
