Subject: [PATCH 4/7] cpu: CPU notifier error injection

This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier
chain callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/cpu-notifier-error-inject/

Each of the files in the directory represents an event which can be
failed and contains the error code.  If the notifier call chain should
be failed with some events notified, write the error code to the files.

Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

	# echo -1 > /sys/kernel/debug/cpu-notifier-error-inject/CPU_UP_PREPARE
	# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)

	# echo -2 > /sys/kernel/debug/cpu-notifier-error-inject/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
	# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory
