[RFC PATCH 2/9] audit: fixup audit_init()

From: Paul Moore <paul(a)paul-moore.com&gt; Make sure everything is initialized before we start the kauditd_thread and don't emit the "initialized" record until everything is finished. We also panic with a descriptive message if we can't start the kauditd_thread.
