Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] block: Make I/O timeout failure injection again task-independent

Commit e41d58185f14 made all faults that are triggered from task
context, including I/O timeouts, dependent on the failure
injection settings for that task. Make it again possible to inject
I/O timeout failures independent of task context. An example for a
fault injection for which this patch makes a difference (from a VM
booted with the 'threadirqs' command line parameter):

FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure. name fail_io_timeout, interval 1, probability 100, space 0, times 1
CPU: 6 PID: 1253 Comm: irq/36-skd0-msi Not tainted 4.13.0-rc2-dbg+ #5
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1.fc26 04/01/2014
