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.
