Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Repeat pututxline() if it fails with EINTR

This is a partial fix for rhbz#1688848. We cannot resolve it
completely until glibc bug rhbz#1734791 is fixed. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1688848#c13.

The maximum number of attempts is currently 2, which might seem
low. However setting it to 2 was a decision based on data - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1688848#c16.

Resolves: rhbz#1688848
