Subject: [BUGFIX PATCH bpf-next] error-injection: Fix to prohibit jump optimization

Since the kprobe which was optimized by jump can not change
the execution path, the kprobe for error-injection must not
be optimized. To prohibit it, set a dummy post-handler as
officially stated in Documentation/kprobes.txt.

Fixes: 4b1a29a7f542 ("error-injection: Support fault injection framework")
