Subject[PATCH] audit: fix endless wait in audit_log_start()
From
Date
After commit 829199197a430dade2519d54f5545c4a094393b8 audit emiters will block
forever if userspace daemon cannot handle backlog. After the timeout waiting
loop turns into busy loop and runs until daemon dies or returns back to work.
This is minimal patch for that bug.
