I rethought about this point, and now I think the KASAN check is fine. Let's
keep it.

As I noted, there are pros and cons for the KASAN check: if the test
case runs on kernels that disable KASAN, the KASAN check will decresase
code coverage. Said that, now I agree wint your point: the KASAN check is
straight forward and it clearly describes the condition to recreate the failure.

Actually, the test case nvme/069 also has the KASAN check already. Let's keep
the KASAN check for consistency.
