Why use debugfs? The whole point of the fault injection test is that it 
replaces an existing function with something that just returns an error 
code. Seems the perfect way to have a function which is simply "return 
0;" in normal usage but modified by the injection test to return an 
error code when a test is running. Which is what the original patch was 
doing. That way everything is self contained, there are no extraneous 
interfaces in unrelated subsystems.

Unless you are wanting a more generic 'test_in_progress' function that 
is not specific to fault injection, then using debugfs seems like an 
unnecessary complication.
