TOMOYO: Fix race on updating profile's comment line.
In tomoyo_write_profile() since 2.6.34, a lock was by error missing when replacing profile's comment line. If multiple threads attempted echo '0-COMMENT=comment' > /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/profile in parallel, garbage collector will fail to kfree() the old value. Protect the replacement using a lock. Also, keep the old value rather than replace with empty string when out of memory error has occurred.
