There was a the problem reported by fail-make-request user and the
problem is introduced by the follow-up patches for systematic
fault injection.

Please check the commit 9eeb52ae712e ("fault-inject: fix wrong
should_fail() decision in task context") and see if the problem
you reported is identical to the commit.
