Subject: [PATCH v3 6/6] x86/mce/mce-inject: Return error code to userspace from mce-inject module

Currently, the mce-inject module fails silently and user must look for
kernel logs to determine if the injection has succeeded.

Save time for the user and return error code from the module with
appropriate error statements if error injection fails.

v2:
	Added pr_err() along with error code.
v3:
	Rephrased the statement: No online CPUs available for error
	injection -> Chosen CPU is not online.
