JDK-8240360 - NativeLibraryEvent has wrong library name on Linux
Description
There are a few sscanf  calls in hotspot  missing return value checking.
Comments
We also need to backport JDK-8240360 (11u, 13u), cause it fixes a regression with this one...

Fix request (13u): The original change applies cleanly, passes tier1 and tier2 tests.

This change silently reverted the fix for JDK-8216559, causing jdk/jfr/event/runtime/TestNativeLibrariesEvent.java to start failing again on systems with 3-digit device ids. The bug introduced by JDK-8216559 should have been addressed in a separate change, by increasing the size of the 'device' buffer, not by decreasing the format spec width.

jdk11 fix request I would like to have the patch in jdk11 too, becausethe issue is present there as well. The patch applies cleanly.
