audit: move calcs after alloc and check when logging set loginuid

rgbriggs · pcmoore · commit 76a658c20efd · 2016-06-28T15:40:17.000-04:00
Move the calculations of values after the allocation in case the
allocation fails.  This avoids wasting effort in the rare case that it
fails, but more importantly saves us extra logic to release the tty
ref.
