[PATCH v3 2/2] kasan: Add explicit preconditions to kasan_report()

[Vincenzo Frascino]

With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() dereferences
the address passed as a parameter.

Add a comment to make sure that the preconditions to the function are
explicitly clarified.

Note: An invalid address (e.g. NULL) passed to the function when,
KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, leads to a kernel panic.
