errno is only meaningful after a call that actually failed (ret < 0).
With a short but non-negative return, errno holds whatever value some
earlier libc/syscall left there.

So maybe better like this:

    if (ret < (ssize_t)strlen(tok)) {
        if (ret < 0 && errno == ESRCH)
            continue;

        tst_brk(TBROK | TERRNO, "Failed to drain %s", tok);
    }
