fs/proc/base.c: fix proc_fault_inject_write() input sanity check
Remove obfuscated zero-length input check and return -EINVAL instead of
-EIO error to make the error message clear to user. Add whitespace
stripping. No functionality changes.
The old code:
echo 1 > /proc/pid/make-it-fail (ok)
echo 1foo > /proc/pid/make-it-fail (-bash: echo: write error: Input/output error)
The new code:
echo 1 > /proc/pid/make-it-fail (ok)
echo 1foo > /proc/pid/make-it-fail (-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument)
This patch is conservative in changes to not breaking existing
scripts/applications.
