AUDIT: Send netlink messages from a separate kernel thread

netlink_unicast() will attempt to reallocate and will free messages if
the socket's rcvbuf limit is reached unless we give it an infinite 
timeout. So do that, from a kernel thread which is dedicated to spewing
stuff up the netlink socket.
