From: Fushuai Wang <wangfushuai@baidu.com>

When /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb is less than 12KB,
the test_multiple_writes test will stall and wait for more
input due to insufficient buffer space.

Check current buffer_size_kb value before the test. If it is
less than 12KB, it temporarily increase the buffer to 12KB,
and restore the original value after the tests are completed.

V2 -> V3: Make the From and SoB match.
V1 -> V2: Restore buffer_size_kb outside of awk script.

Thank you. Applied to linux-kselftest fixes branch.
I will send this up for the next rc.

thanks,
