Thanks for the report.

The filter is really part of the injector, even if it happens to be 
in the other file. I first resisted adding an ifdef to it, but it seems
we need it. I think I forgot to set to set CONFIG_EMBEDDED earlier,
that is what made the earlier build test pass even when it shouldn't have.

This updated patch should fix it. I tried to build test all applicable
combinations, if anything is still missing please let me know.

HWPOISON: Add PROC_FS dependency to hwpoison injector v2

The injector filter requires stable_page_flags() which is supplied
by procfs. So make it dependent on that.

Also add ifdefs around the filter code in memory-failure.c so that
when the filter is disabled due to missing dependencies the whole
code still builds.
