This patch adds "kasan: " prefix for all messages from this file ( +#define pr_fmt(fmt) "kasan: " fmt )

I'm agree with Dmitry, I would choose kasan name too.
In this case, adding explanation in the message will produce too much kasans in one short message:

	kasan: Kernel address sanitizer (kasan) initialized

Perhaps it would be better to keep this patch as is. Ok?
