tty: audit: Simplify first-use allocation
The first-use tty audit buffer allocation is a potential race amongst multiple attempts at 'first-use'; only one 'winner' is acceptable. The successful buffer assignment occurs if tty_audit_buf == NULL (which will also be the return from cmpxchg()); otherwise, another racer 'won' and this buffer allocation is freed.
