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.
