fault-injection: enhance failcmd to exit on non-hex address input

Browse Source 
The failcmd.sh script in the fault-injection toolkit does not currently
validate whether the provided address is in hexadecimal format.  This can
lead to silent failures if the address is sourced from places like
`/proc/kallsyms`, which omits the '0x' prefix, potentially causing users
to operate under incorrect assumptions.

Introduce a new function, `exit_if_not_hex`, which checks the format of
the provided address and exits with an error message if the address is not
a valid hexadecimal number.

This enhancement prevents users from running the command with improperly
formatted addresses, thus improving the robustness and usability of the
failcmd tool.
