c39d0454ec net: Add support for CHANGEUPPER notifier error injection
Since CHANGEUPPER can now fail, add support for it in the newly
introduced netdev notifier error injection infrastructure.

02fff96a79 net: add support for netdev notifier error injection
This module allows to insert errors in some of netdevice's notifier
events. All network drivers use these notifiers to signal various events
and to check if they are allowed, e.g. PRECHANGEMTU and CHANGEMTU
afterwards. Until recently I had to run failure tests by injecting
a custom module, but now this infrastructure makes it trivial to test
these failure paths. Some of the recent bugs I fixed were found using
this module.
Here's an example:
 $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev
 $ echo -22 > actions/NETDEV_CHANGEMTU/error
 $ ip link set eth0 mtu 1024
 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
