audit: fix endless wait in audit_log_start()
After commit 829199197a43 ("kernel/audit.c: avoid negative sleep durations") audit emitters will block forever if userspace daemon cannot handle backlog. After the timeout the waiting loop turns into busy loop and runs until daemon dies or returns back to work. This is a minimal patch for that bug.
