Akinobu Mita 1203c8e6fb fault-inject: simplify access check for fail-nth
The fail-nth file is created with 0666 and the access is permitted if
and only if the task is current.

This file is owned by the currnet user.  So we can create it with 0644
and allow the owner to write it.  This enables to watch the status of
task->fail_nth from another processes.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
