Subject: [PATCH] log: fix deadlock obtaining hostname (related CVE-2018-6764)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The fix for CVE-2018-6764 introduced a potential deadlock scenario
that gets triggered by the NSS module when virGetHostname() calls
getaddrinfo to resolve the hostname:

 #30 0x00007f6e7248f494 in gethostbyname2
 #31 0x000056348c30c36d in hosts_keys
 #32 0x000056348c30b7d2 in main

Fortunately the extra stuff virGetHostname does is totally irrelevant to
the needs of the logging code, so we can just inline a call to the
native hostname() syscall directly.
