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 only do harm, it makes sense to disable
kasan after the first one. Except for the tests in lib/test_kasan.c
as we obviously want to see all reports from test.
