kernel/audit.c: avoid negative sleep durations
audit_log_start() performs the same jiffies comparison in two places. If sufficient time has elapsed between the two comparisons, the second one produces a negative sleep duration: schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value fffffffffffffff0 Pid: 6606, comm: trinity-child1 Not tainted 3.8.0-rc1+ #43 Call Trace: schedule_timeout+0x305/0x340 audit_log_start+0x311/0x470 audit_log_exit+0x4b/0xfb0 __audit_syscall_exit+0x25f/0x2c0 sysret_audit+0x17/0x21 Fix it by performing the comparison a single time.
