kfence: add kfence.fault parameter
Add kfence.fault parameter to control the behavior when a KFENCE error is
detected (similar in spirit to kasan.fault=<mode>).
The supported modes for kfence.fault=<mode> are:
- report: print the error report and continue (default).
- oops: print the error report and oops.
- panic: print the error report and panic.
In particular, the 'oops' mode offers a trade-off between no mitigation
on report and panicking outright (if panic_on_oops is not set).
