[PATCH v3 7/7] kunit: Don't waste first attempt to format string in kunit_log_append()

It's wasteful to call vsnprintf() only to figure out the length of the
string. The string might fit in the available buffer space but we have to
vsnprintf() again to do that.

Instead, attempt to format the string to the available buffer at the same
time as finding the string length. Only if the string didn't fit the
available space is it necessary to extend the log and format the string
again to a new fragment buffer.
