Great catch!
But the KUnit test fails even with this change, see below. And I am
not surprised. The test should work even with larger-than-allowed
messages. prbtest_writer() should skip then because prb_reserve()
should fail.
Here is test result with:
#define MAX_RBDATA_TEXT_SIZE (256 - sizeof(struct prbtest_rbdata))
#define MAX_PRB_RECORD_SIZE (sizeof(struct prbtest_rbdata) + MAX_RBDATA_TEXT_SIZE)
DEFINE_PRINTKRB(test_rb, 4, 4);
and with this patchset reverted, aka, sources from
printk/linux.git, branch for-next:

It is well reproducible. It always fails after reading few records.
Here are results from few other runs:
