selftests/livepatch: define max test-syscall processes

Define a maximum allowable number of pids that can be livepatched in
test-syscall.sh as with extremely large machines the output from a
large number of processes overflows the dev/kmsg "expect" buffer in
the "check_result" function and causes a false error.
