Model call chain after should_failslab(). Likewise, we can now use a kprobe to override the return value of should_fail_alloc_page() and inject allocation failures into alloc_page*(). This will allow injecting allocation failures using the BCC tools even without building kernel with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC and booting it with a fail_page_alloc= parameter, which incurs some overhead even when failures are not being injected. On the other hand, this patch adds an unconditional call to should_fail_alloc_page() from page allocation hotpath. That overhead should be rather negligible with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC=n when there's no kprobe attached, though.
