Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/7] audit: don't needlessly reset valid wait time

After auditd has recovered from an overflowed queue, the first process
that doesn't use reserves to make it through the queue checks should
reset the audit backlog wait time to the configured value.  After that,
there is no need to keep resetting it.
