TOMOYO: Copy directly to userspace buffer.
When userspace program reads policy from /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/ interface, TOMOYO uses line buffered mode. A line has at least one word. Commit 006dacc "TOMOYO: Support longer pathname." changed a word's max length from 4000 bytes to max kmalloc()able bytes. By that commit, a line's max length changed from 8192 bytes to more than max kmalloc()able bytes. Max number of words in a line remains finite. This patch changes the way of buffering so that all words in a line are firstly directly copied to userspace buffer as much as possible and are secondly queued for next read request. Words queued are guaranteed to be valid until /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/ interface is close()d.
