[Devel] [PATCH vz10 v2 1/2] dm-ploop: use the ERRNO fault injection class for ploop_get_delta_file()

ploop_get_delta_file() returns a valid struct file * or an ERR_PTR(),
never NULL, and its only caller relies on exactly that.

The function, however, is annotated as

	ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(ploop_get_delta_file, ERRNO_NULL);

So injecting a failure the default way makes the function return NULL,
the NULL sails past IS_ERR() and vfs_fsync() dereferences it.

This is the annotation misdescribing the function rather than a missing
check in the caller: NULL is not a value ploop_get_delta_file() can ever
return. Use the ERRNO class, which injects error pointers only.

Fixes: 4fc49f0700e2 ("dm-ploop: Allow fault injection for all ploop functions")
Feature: dm-ploop: ploop target driver
