powercap: fix sscanf() error return value handling

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit efc4c35b741af973de90f6826bf35d3b3ac36bf1 ]

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).
