fb_open returns a pointer and doesn't populate errno, which will
result in a stale errno being evaluated by perror() on failure.
Fix this by using strerror with the proper argument instead at call sites.

While at it, correct the message prefix typo (s/fb_open/fb_open/).

Changes since v1:
 * use strerror instead of perror/errno as suggested by Andrey & Sascha
 * negated PTR_ERR output, so the error is positive
