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.

config NETFS_SUPPORT
tristate
help
This option enables support for network filesystems, including
helpers for high-level buffered I/O, abstracting out read
segmentation, local caching and transparent huge page support.
config NETFS_STATS
bool "Gather statistical information on local caching"
depends on NETFS_SUPPORT && PROC_FS
help
This option causes statistical information to be gathered on local
caching and exported through file:
/proc/fs/fscache/stats
The gathering of statistics adds a certain amount of overhead to
execution as there are a quite a few stats gathered, and on a
multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep bouncing
between CPUs. On the other hand, the stats are very useful for
debugging purposes. Saying 'Y' here is recommended.
