Subject: [PATCH v2] kasan: report only the first error by default

Disable kasan after the first report. There are several reasons for this:
 * Single bug quite often has multiple invalid memory accesses causing
    storm in the dmesg.
 * Write OOB access might corrupt metadata so the next report will print
    bogus alloc/free stacktraces.
 * Reports after the first easily could be not bugs by itself but just side
    effects of the first one.

Given that multiple reports usually only do harm, it makes sense to disable
kasan after the first one. If user wants to see all the reports, the
boot-time parameter kasan_multi_shot must be used.

Changes since v1:
        - provide kasan_multi_shot boot parameter.
