audit, sched/wait: Fixup kauditd_thread() wait loop
The kauditd_thread wait loop is a bit iffy; it has a number of problems:
- calls try_to_freeze() before schedule(); you typically want the
thread to re-evaluate the sleep condition when unfreezing, also
freeze_task() issues a wakeup.
- it unconditionally does the {add,remove}_wait_queue(), even when the
sleep condition is false.
Use wait_event_freezable() that does the right thing.
