Subject: tty: audit: Remove tty_audit_buf reference counting
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5493090fc2341d9f28bdd9e81445fe0a130bafc2;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

tty: audit: Remove tty_audit_buf reference counting

When tty_audit_exit() is called from do_exit(), the process is
single-threaded. Since the tty_audit_buf is only shared by threads
of a process, no other thread can be concurrently accessing the
tty_audit_buf during or after tty_audit_exit().

Thus, no other thread can be holding an extra tty_audit_buf reference
which would prevent tty_audit_exit() from freeing the tty_audit_buf.
As that is the only purpose of the ref counting, remove the reference
counting and free the tty_audit_buf directly.
