[ Upstream commit 10b6ee3b597b1b1b4dc390aaf9d589664af31df9 ]
These tests record in a mode that includes kernel trace but look for samples of a userspace process. This makes them sensitive to any kernel compilation options that increase the amount of time spent in the kernel. If the trace buffer is completely filled before userspace is reached then the test will fail. Double the buffer size to fix this.
The other tests in the same file aren't sensitive to this for various reasons, for example the iterate devices test filters by userspace trace only. But in order to keep coverage of all the modes, increase the buffer size rather than filtering by userspace for the basic tests.
