fault-inject: simplify access check for fail-nth
The fail-nth file is created with 0666 and the access is permitted if and only if the task is current. This file is owned by the currnet user. So we can create it with 0644 and allow the owner to write it. This enables to watch the status of task->fail_nth from another processes.
