cpu: rewrite cpu-notifier-error-inject module

Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new
framework.

This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module
parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected.  We could
keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb
but it seems overkill for this module.

This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier chain
callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu

If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified,
write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".

Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
# echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)

# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
# echo -2 > actions/CPU_UP_PREPARE/error
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory
