Subject: [PATCH v2] kernel/rcutorture.c: be sure of enough memory for result
 printing

If the contents is more than 4096 bytes (e.g. if have 1K cpus), current
sprintf() will cause memory overflow. And this fix patch is to be sure
of memory large enough.

Benefit:

 - do not truncate printing contents.
 - extensible, it is large enough for printing various related contents.
 - simple and clear enough for both source code readers and writers.

Shortcoming:

 - It will waste some memory:

    1 cpu now comsumes 50 - 60 bytes, and this patch provides 200 bytes.
    global printing now comsumes a few KB, and this patch provide 8KB,
    so for 1K cpus, it may waste 100 - 200 KB memory.

   after finish printing, it will free the related memory, quickly.
   it is a test module, so wast a little memory for extensible is OK.

Related  test (Fedora16 2 CPUs, 2GB RAM x86_64)

 - as module, with/without "torture_type=srcu".
 - build-in not boot runnable, with/without "torture_type=srcu".
 - build-in let boot runnable, with/without "torture_type=srcu".
