Work around flakiness in t5500.43
It seems that this test became flaky only recently, although I have to
admit that I have no idea why: the involved code does not seem to have
changed recently at all. It should have been fixed by
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200506220741.71021-1-jonathantanmy@google.com/ (local)
, but apparently wasn't completely fixed, despite what I said in that
thread.
I think this is a real bug, and we shouldn't be changing the tests to
accommodate. Users may actually see the broken lines, and our tests are
telling us that.
True; I reacted too hastily. Will not queue the workaround ;-)
