This is because the item has to be part of the matching string and not a
item to be matched the "%s %ld" string would match first line in the
/proc/meminfo. The easiest solution would be turning this into a macro:

#define SAFE_READ_MEMINFO(item) \
	({long tst_rval; \
	  SAFE_FILE_LINES_SCANF("/proc/meminfo", item " %ld",
	  &tst_rval); \

This of course works only when item is compile time string constant, but
I doubt that we use it with anything else.
