Subject: Infinite loop in whitespace-buffer-trailing-cleanup

There is a bug in `whitespace-buffer-trailing-cleanup' when trying to
remove trailing whitespace in a non-writable file with
`kill-read-only-ok' set to t.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. Create a file with only whitespace, e.g. echo -e "\n\n\n\n" >/tmp/foo
2. Make it non-writable: chmod a-w /tmp/foo
3. Open /tmp/foo in Emacs
4. M-x set-variable RET kill-read-only-ok RET t RET
5. M-: (require 'whitespace) RET
6. M-: (whitespace-buffer-trailing-cleanup) RET
7. Wait, don't interrupt.
In Emacs 21.4, this results in a segmentation fault after a few
seconds. In Emacs from CVS, it results in the following backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'")
x-set-cut-buffer("\n" t)
x-select-text("\n" t)
kill-new("\n")
