powercap: fix sscanf() error return value handling
[ Upstream commit efc4c35 ] Fix inconsistent error handling for sscanf() return value check. Implicit boolean conversion is used instead of explicit return value checks. The code checks if (!sscanf(...)) which is incorrect because: 1. sscanf returns the number of successfully parsed items 2. On success, it returns 1 (one item passed) 3. On failure, it returns 0 or EOF 4. The check 'if (!sscanf(...))' is wrong because it treats success (1) as failure All occurrences of sscanf() now uses explicit return value check. With this behavior it returns '-EINVAL' when parsing fails (returns 0 or EOF), and continues when parsing succeeds (returns 1).
