dm flakey: add corrupt_bio_byte feature
Add corrupt_bio_byte feature to simulate corruption by overwriting a byte at a specified position with a specified value during intervals when the device is "down". Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

All write I/O is silently ignored.
Read I/O is handled correctly.
+
+ corrupt_bio_byte <Nth_byte> <direction> <value> <flags>:
+ During <down interval>, replace <Nth_byte> of the data of
+ each matching bio with <value>.
+
+ <Nth_byte>: The offset of the byte to replace.
+ Counting starts at 1, to replace the first byte.
+ <direction>: Either 'r' to corrupt reads or 'w' to corrupt writes.
+ 'w' is incompatible with drop_writes.
+ <value>: The value (from 0-255) to write.
+ <flags>: Perform the replacement only if bio->bi_rw has all the
+ selected flags set.
+
+Examples:
+ corrupt_bio_byte 32 r 1 0
+ - replaces the 32nd byte of READ bios with the value 1
+
+ corrupt_bio_byte 224 w 0 32
+ - replaces the 224th byte of REQ_META (=32) bios with the value 0
