let's please not randomly exit in some helper function due to an error
specific to that function, but rather return with an error code from
the function and map that to "null" or not including the respective keys
in the JSON output (either is fine for me).

We do not have any always-on debugging outputs here, either add a helper
for that which can be optionally enabled on build through defining a
constant or just omit it for now.

As of now this is a dead branch as read_msr either returns 0 or exits
the program.

please re-use the `eprintf` helper we define here in the file and use
everywhere else.
