audit: efficiency fix 1: only wake up if queue shorter than backlog limit

audit: efficiency fix 1: only wake up if queue shorter than backlog limit

These and similar errors were seen on a patched 3.8 kernel when the
audit subsystem was overrun during boot:

  udevd[876]: worker [887] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100
  udevd[876]: worker [887] failed while handling
'/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:40:00.0'
  udevd[876]: worker [880] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100
  udevd[876]: worker [880] failed while handling
'/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/input1/event1'

  udevadm settle - timeout of 180 seconds reached, the event queue
contains:
    /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/input1/event1 (3995)
    /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/INT3F0D:00 (4034)

  audit: audit_backlog=258 > audit_backlog_limit=256
  audit: audit_lost=1 audit_rate_limit=0 audit_backlog_limit=256

The change below increases the efficiency of the audit code and prevents it
from being overrun:

Only issue a wake_up in kauditd if the length of the skb queue is less than the
backlog limit.  Otherwise, threads waiting in wait_for_auditd() will simply
wake up, discover that the queue is still too long for them to proceed, and go
back to sleep.  This results in wasted context switches and machine cycles.
kauditd_thread() is the only function that removes buffers from audit_skb_queue
so we can't race.  If we did, the timeout in wait_for_auditd() would expire and
the waiting thread would continue.
