commit d54870f993e97fe75e2cd0470a3701d5af22877c Author: Changqing Li Date: Tue Jan 12 14:45:34 2021 +0800 faillock: create tallydir before creating tallyfile The default tallydir is "/var/run/faillock", and this default tallydir may not exist. Function open may fail as tallydir does not exist when creating the tallyfile. Therefore, faillock will not work well. Fix this problem by creating tallydir before creating tallyfile when the tallydir does not exist.
