audit: use spin_lock_irqsave/restore in audit tty code
Some of the callers of the audit tty function use spin_lock_irqsave/restore. We were using the forced always enable version, which seems really bad. Since I don't know every one of these code paths well enough, it makes sense to just switch everything to the safe version. Maybe it's a little overzealous, but it's a lot better than an unlucky deadlock when we return to a caller with irq enabled and they expect it to be disabled.
