Subject: [PATCH 6/7] memory: memory notifier error injection

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