error-injection: Add prompt for function error injection
 
The config to be able to inject error codes into any function annotated
with ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is enabled when FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is
enabled.  But unfortunately, this is always enabled on x86 when KPROBES
is enabled, and there's no way to turn it off.

As kprobes is useful for observability of the kernel, it is useful to
have it enabled in production environments.  But error injection should
be avoided.  Add a prompt to the config to allow it to be disabled even
when kprobes is enabled, and get rid of the "def_bool y".

This is a kernel debug feature (it's in Kconfig.debug), and should have
never been something enabled by default.

	  EFS is an older file system used for non-ISO9660 CD-ROMs and hard
	  disk partitions by SGI's IRIX operating system (IRIX 6.0 and newer
	  uses the XFS file system for hard disk partitions however).

	  This implementation only offers read-only access. If you don't know
	  what all this is about, it's safe to say N. For more information
	  about EFS see its home page at <http://aeschi.ch.eu.org/efs/>.

	  To compile the EFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called efs.
