Audit: stop deadlock from signals under load

A deadlock is possible between kauditd and auditd under load if auditd
receives a signal.  When auditd receives a signal it sends a netlink
message to the kernel asking for information about the sender of the
signal.  In that same context the audit system will attempt to send a
netlink message back to the userspace auditd.  If kauditd has already
filled the socket buffer (see netlink_attachskb()) auditd will now put
itself to sleep waiting for room to send the message.  Since auditd is
responsible for draining that socket we have a deadlock.  The fix, since
the response from the kernel does not need to be synchronous is to send
the signal information back to auditd in a separate thread.  And thus
auditd can continue to drain the audit queue normally.
