Limiting smaller allocation failures by fault injection helps to find real
possible bugs.  Because higher order allocations are likely to fail and
zero-order allocations are not likely to fail.

This patch adds min-order parameter to fail_page_alloc.  It specifies the
minimum page allocation order to be injected failures.
