Why should you inject anything in that case?
AFAICT, you can handle the return value in __handle_encls_ecreate() and
inject only when the return value is EFAULT. If it is another negative
error value, you pass it back up to its caller, handle_encls_ecreate()
which returns other error values like -ENOMEM too. Which means, its
callchain can stomach negative values just fine.
