tty_audit: fix tty_audit_add_data live lock on audit disabled

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.
