Subject: [PATCH -v2] lib/notifier-error-inject: fix error when writing errno to debugfs file

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the
commit 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we can no longer use DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() to
define a file operations for errno value.

Fixes: 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()")

But shouldn't we fix simple_attr_write() instead?

I mean, simple_attr_read() might use attr->fmt to print a signed value,
but simple_attr_write() fails on signed values now?

I might be wrong, but there is a disconnect. I feel like
simple_attr_write() should similarly make decisions based on attr->fmt.

I agree there is a disconnect, but I have no idea how to fix
simple_attr_write().
(strcmp(attr->fmt, "%%lld\n") is ugly)
If no one seems to come up with a good idea, I'll fix the similar problems
in fault-injection the same way I did here.

Maybe we simply want another interface for the handful of %lld users. Or
another way to allow DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE users to specify it.

Might be good enough to specify instead of/in addition to "%llu" an enum
that expresses what we want.

$ git grep -C2 DEFINE_SIMPLE | grep "\%"

tells me that we have

a) %llu
b) %llx
c) %lld
d) 0x%llx
e) 0x%08llx

Maybe we can adjust the debugfs cases to be more similar, to eventually
get only a, b and c.
