[PATCH] fault injection: process filtering for fault-injection capabilities

This patch provides process filtering feature.
The process filter allows failing only permitted processes
by /proc/<pid>/make-it-fail

Please see the example that demostrates how to inject slab allocation
failures into module init/cleanup code
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt
