kasan: add support for kasan.fault=panic_on_write
KASAN's boot time kernel parameter 'kasan.fault=' currently supports
'report' and 'panic', which results in either only reporting bugs or also
panicking on reports.
However, some users may wish to have more control over when KASAN reports
result in a kernel panic: in particular, KASAN reported invalid _writes_
are of special interest, because they have greater potential to corrupt
random kernel memory or be more easily exploited.
To panic on invalid writes only, introduce 'kasan.fault=panic_on_write',
which allows users to choose to continue running on invalid reads, but
panic only on invalid writes.
