+Rae, since she's the last person to touch the log code.

Thanks a bunch. Some way of handling longer logs has been on the to-do
list for a while, and this is probably better than the other options
of allowing per-test log sizes or using krealloc().

This mostly works okay here, but the test fails when running:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --alltests
[17:05:12] # kunit_log_extend_test: EXPECTATION FAILED at
lib/kunit/kunit-test.c:624
[17:05:12] Expected sscanf(p, "The quick brown fox jumps over the
lazy penguin %d", &q) == 1, but
[17:05:12] sscanf(p, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
penguin %d", &q) == 0 (0x0)

I haven't found the cause of it, yet, but it happens both on UML and
QEMU x86_64.

Would it make more sense to call this KUNIT_LOG_FRAGMENT_SIZE or
similar, as not only is this the default size, but also the amount by
which the size is incremented.

Also, there's plenty of scope for bikeshedding the exact value of
this, two considerations being:
- Most tests have very small logs: we possibly should look into what
the average log size is.
- It may make sense to tweak the log size to fit nicely within common
allocation/page sizes. e.g., PAGE_SIZE-sizeof(struct list_head) or
something. Though that is probably too big by default.

Do we want the '\n' at the end of this if we're overwriting it above?

Could we make these KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ? I'd rather not have this kill the
test thread.
