Subject: [PATCH] Repeat pututxline() until it succeeds if it fails with EINTR

Since the pututxline() bug rhbz#1749439 is now fixed in glibc in
Fedora and RHEL-8, we can implement a complete solution for the stale
utmp entries issue originally reported as rhbz#1688848.

This patch is a followup to commit 896b3694ca062d7.

Resolves: rhbz#1688852
Resolves: rhbz#1737433
