audit: add audit_backlog_wait_time configuration option
reaahead-collector abuses the audit logging facility to discover which files are accessed at boot time to make a pre-load list Add a tuning option to audit_backlog_wait_time so that if auditd can't keep up, or gets blocked, the callers won't be blocked. Bump audit_status API version to "2". Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
