I looked at blk-core.c and used the same code here. Current code
creates the entry under the debugfs root. This means one fail_attr for
all hosts.
I agree, it's more clean to move the fail_attr to the
host-debugfs-entry which require the fail_attr to be stored same way
as make_it_fail.

Thanks, I will check it out.
