tty_audit: fix tty_audit_add_data live lock on audit disabled
commit 00bff392c81e4fb1901e5160fdd5afdb2546a6ab upstream. The current tty_audit_add_data code: do { size_t run; run = N_TTY_BUF_SIZE - buf->valid; if (run > size) run = size; memcpy(buf->data + buf->valid, data, run); buf->valid += run; data += run; size -= run; if (buf->valid == N_TTY_BUF_SIZE) tty_audit_buf_push_current(buf); } while (size != 0); If the current buffer is full, kernel will then call tty_audit_buf_push_current to empty the buffer. But if we disabled audit at the same time, tty_audit_buf_push() returns immediately if audit_enabled is zero. Without emptying the buffer. With obvious effect on tty_audit_add_data() that ends up spinning in that loop, copying 0 bytes at each iteration and attempting to push each time without any effect. Holding the lock all along.
