Subject[patch 3/8] fault-injection capability for kmalloc
This patch provides fault-injection capability for kmalloc.

Boot option:

failslab=<interval>,<probability>,<space>,<times>

<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.

<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.

<space> -- specifies the size of free space where memory can be
allocated safely in bytes.

<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

Example:

failslab=10,100,0,-1

slab allocation (kmalloc(), kmem_cache_alloc(),..) fails once per 10 times.
