This patch provides fail-injection capability for disk IO.

Boot option:

	fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<times>,<space>

	<probability>

		specifies how often it should fail in percent.

	<interval>

		specifies the interval of failures.

	<times>

		specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

	<space>

		specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued
		safely in bytes.

Example:

	fail_make_request=100,10,-1,0

generic_make_request() fails once per 10 times.
