While adding error injection into IO completion, I notice the lack of initialization check in xfs_errortag_test(), make the error injection mechanism unable to be used there. IO completion is executed a few times before the error injection mechanism is initialized, so to be safer, make xfs_errortag_test() check if the errortag is properly initialized.
