TOMOYO: Fix infinite loop bug when reading /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/audit
In tomoyo_flush(), head->r.w[0] holds pointer to string data to be printed.
But head->r.w[0] was updated only when the string data was partially
printed (because head->r.w[0] will be updated by head->r.w[1] later if
completely printed). However, regarding /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/query ,
an additional '\0' is printed after the string data was completely printed.
But if free space for read buffer became 0 before printing the additional '\0',
tomoyo_flush() was returning without updating head->r.w[0]. As a result,
tomoyo_flush() forever reprints already printed string data.
