fault-injection: add CPU notifier error injection module
I used this module to test the series of modification to the cpu notifiers
code.
Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
# modprobe cpu-notifier-error-inject cpu_down_prepare_error=-1
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)
# modprobe cpu-notifier-error-inject cpu_up_prepare_error=-2
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory
