Is it possible to inject errors into multiple functions at the same time?

If so, it will be more useful to support it in the fault injection, too.
Because some kind of bugs are caused by the combination of errors.
(e.g. another error in an error path)

I suggest the following interface.

- /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/inject:

specifies the target function of error injection by name.
/sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/<func>/ directory will be created.

- /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/uninject:

specifies the target function of error injection by name that is
currently being injected. /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/<func>/
directory will be removed.

- /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/<func>/retval:

specifies the "error" return value to inject to the given function.
