The uprobe helpers in the seccomp and x86 selftests parse integer values
from sysfs with fscanf(). A matching failure returns zero and does not
necessarily set errno, so malformed input can be returned as a valid
zero value.
Both callers treat non-negative values as successful parses, allowing
the failure to propagate as valid uprobe configuration.
Return -EINVAL for matching failures while preserving the existing
handling for successful parses and EOF.
Fixes: c2debdb8544f ("selftests/seccomp: validate uretprobe syscall passes through seccomp")
Fixes: 29edd8b003db ("selftests/x86: Add return uprobe shadow stack test")
