Enhance visibility into dm-verity Forward Error Correction (FEC) activity. While FEC can correct on-disk corruptions, the number of successful correction events is not readily exposed through a standard interface. This change integrates FEC statistics into the verity target's .status handler for STATUSTYPE_INFO. The info output now includes count of corrected block by FEC. The counter is a per-device instance atomic64_t, maintained within the struct dm_verity_fec, tracking blocks successfully repaired by FEC on this specific device instance since it was created. This approach aligns with the standard Device Mapper mechanism for targets to report runtime information, as used by other targets like dm-integrity. This patch also updates Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/verity.rst to reflect the new status information. Tested: Induced single-bit errors on a block device protected by dm-verity with FEC on android phone. Confirmed 'dmctl status <device>' on Android reports an incrementing 'fec_corrected_blocks' count after the corrupted blocks were accessed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
