perf pmu: Fix perf_pmu__parse_scale/unit() OOB access on empty sysfs file

perf_pmu__parse_scale() reads a PMU scale file then accesses
scale[sret - 1] to strip a trailing newline.  Only sret < 0 is
guarded, so an empty file (sret == 0) causes scale[-1] — a stack
buffer underflow that reads and potentially writes out of bounds.

perf_pmu__parse_unit() has the same pattern: alias->unit[sret - 1]
with sret == 0 accesses the byte before the struct member, which
may corrupt the adjacent pmu_name pointer field.

Change both guards from sret < 0 to sret <= 0 so that empty files
are treated as read errors.
