audit: fix endless wait in audit_log_start()

commit 8ac1c8d5deba65513b6a82c35e89e73996c8e0d6 upstream.

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.
