It's not at all "needed for bpf".

There are mis-uses of error injection that have nothing to do with
error injection in linux-next, and some people have argued that said
mis-uses are a valid.

They aren't. They need fixing. Thankfully they haven't made it
upstream, and I most definitely do not want random users mis-using
"error injection" to inject random bpf code for non-error cases.
