[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/pread02: extend buffer to avoid glibc overflow detection

Test started failing with recent glibc (glibc-2.34.9000-38.fc36),
which detects that buffer in pread is potentially too small:
  tst_test.c:1431: TINFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s
  *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
  tst_test.c:1484: TBROK: Test killed by SIGIOT/SIGABRT!

Extend it to number of bytes we are trying to read from fd.
