fault-inject: make fail-nth read/write interface symmetric 

The read interface for fail-nth looks a bit odd.  Read from this file
returns "NYYYY..." or "YYYYY..." (this makes me surprise when cat this
file).  Because there is no EOF condition.  The first character
indicates current->fail_nth is zero or not, and then current->fail_nth
is reset to zero.

Just returning task->fail_nth value is more natural to understand.

- /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/fail-nth:
Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the task fail.
Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or 'N'
that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file was
injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected.
Read from this file returns a integer value. A value of '0' indicates
that the fault setup with a previous write to this file was injected.
A positive integer N indicates that the fault wasn't yet injected.
Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc).
This setting takes precedence over all other generic debugfs settings
like probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings
