Prior to commit 1a69e7ce8391 ("kasan/Makefile: support LLVM style asan
parameters"), all the flags were run under one cc-option, meaning that
if $(KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET) was not set, the whole call would fail.
However, after that commit, it is possible to do this but I was not sure
if that was intentional so I went for the minimal fix.
