    login: pututxline could fail to overwrite existing entries [BZ #24902]
    
    The internal_getut_r function updates the file_offset variable and
    therefore must always update last_entry as well.
    
    Previously, if pututxline could not upgrade the read lock to a
    write lock, internal_getut_r would update file_offset only,
    without updating last_entry, and a subsequent call would not
    overwrite the existing utmpx entry at file_offset, instead
    creating a new entry.  This has been observed to cause unbounded
    file growth in high-load situations.
    
    This commit removes the buffer argument to internal_getut_r and
    updates the last_entry variable directly, along with file_offset.
    
    Initially reported and fixed by Ondřej Lysoněk.
