Subject: [PATCH for-5.7/drivers v2 1/1] null_blk: describe the usage of fault injection param

As null_blk is a very good start point to test block layer, this patch
adds description and comments to 'timeout', 'requeue' and 'init_hctx' to
explain how to use fault injection with null_blk.

The nvme has similar with nvme_core.fail_request in the form of comment.

Changed since v1:
  - rebase at for-5.7/drivers
  - describe 'init_hctx' as well
