This patchset consists of the following refactors and fixes for
potential deadlocks.

  Patch1-3: Refactorings and a small fix preferable for following deadlock fixes
  Patch4: Fix for deadlock caused by wait/wake_up race in @audit_queue full
  Patch5: Fix for deadlock caused by missing wake_up

v1->v2:
  - wait_for_kauditd(): returns 0 if @audit_queue is not full
  - Add another fix for deadlock caused by missing wake_up

Eiichi Tsukata (5):
  audit: refactor queue full checks
  audit: account backlog waiting time in audit_receive()
  audit: convert DECLARE_WAITQUEUE to DEFINE_WAIT
  audit: check if audit_queue is full after prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
  audit: do not use exclusive wait in audit_receive()
