kasan, doc: note kasan.fault=panic_on_write behaviour for async modes

Note the behaviour of kasan.fault=panic_on_write for async modes, since
all asynchronous faults will result in panic (even if they are reads).

- ``kasan.fault=report``, ``=panic``, or ``=panic_on_write`` controls whether
to only print a KASAN report, panic the kernel, or panic the kernel on
invalid writes only (default: ``report``). The panic happens even if
``kasan_multi_shot`` is enabled.
``kasan_multi_shot`` is enabled. Note that when using asynchronous mode of
Hardware Tag-Based KASAN, ``kasan.fault=panic_on_write`` always panics on
asynchronously checked accesses (including reads).
Software and Hardware Tag-Based KASAN modes (see the section about various
modes below) support altering stack trace collection behavior:
