[PATCH 5.10 03/16] ktest.pl: Fix the logic for truncating the size of the log file for email

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

commit 170f4869e66275f498ae4736106fb54c0fdcd036 upstream.

The logic for truncating the log file for emailing based on the
MAIL_MAX_SIZE option is confusing and incorrect. Simplify it and have the
tail of the log file truncated to the max size specified in the config.
