[PATCH, committed 2.38] stdlib: Improve tst-realpath compatibility with source fortification

From: Andreas K. Huettel <dilfridge@gentoo.org>

On GCC before 11, IPA can make the fortified realpath aware that the
buffer size is not large enough (8 bytes instead of PATH_MAX bytes).
Fix this by using a buffer that is large enough.

(cherry picked from commit 510fc20d73de12c85823d9996faac74666e9c2e7)
