fault-injection: add min-order parameter to fail_page_alloc
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.
