Subject: fault-injection: add min-order parameter to fail_page_alloc
From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx>
Limiting smaller allocation failures by fault injection helps to find real
possible bugs. Because higher order allocations are likely to fail and
zero-order allocations are not likely to fail.
This patch adds min-order parameter to fail_page_alloc. It specifies the
minimum page allocation order to be injected failures.
