net: add support for netdev notifier error injection

This module allows to insert errors in some of netdevice's notifier
events. All network drivers use these notifiers to signal various events
and to check if they are allowed, e.g. PRECHANGEMTU and CHANGEMTU
afterwards. Until recently I had to run failure tests by injecting
a custom module, but now this infrastructure makes it trivial to test
these failure paths. Some of the recent bugs I fixed were found using
this module.
Here's an example:
 $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev
 $ echo -22 > actions/NETDEV_CHANGEMTU/error
 $ ip link set eth0 mtu 1024

This option provides the ability to inject artificial errors to
netdevice notifier chain callbacks. It is controlled through debugfs
interface /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev
If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events
notified, write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".
Example: Inject netdevice mtu change error (-22 = -EINVAL)
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev
# echo -22 > actions/NETDEV_CHANGEMTU/error
# ip link set eth0 mtu 1024
