ktest.pl: Fix the logic for truncating the size of the log file for email

stable inclusion
from stable-5.10.2
commit 2902e302991a4dacd155658bcb3053e4d6b7d4a0
bugzilla: 46859

--------------------------------

commit 170f4869 upstream.

The logic for truncating the log file for emailing based on the
MAIL_MAX_SIZE option is confusing and incorrect. Simplify it and have the
tail of the log file truncated to the max size specified in the config.
