How about keep no_warn attr as it be, and export it to user?

When testing with fault injection, and each fault will print an backtrace.
but not all of the testsuit can tell us which one is fault injection
message or other is a real warning/crash like syzkaller do.

In my case, to make things simple, we usually used a regex to detect whether
wanring/error happend. So we disabled the slab/page fault warning message by
default, and only enable it when debug real issue.

Regards,
