[LTP] [PATCH] printk: ringbuffer: Wrong data pointer when appending small string

data_realloc() returns wrong data pointer when the block is wrapped and
the size is not increased. It might happen when pr_cont() wants to
add only few characters and there is already a space for them because
of alignment.

It might cause writing outsite the buffer. It has been detected by LTP
tests with KASAN enabled:
