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.
