From: Richard Guy Briggs <r...@redhat.com>
The hold queue flush code is an autonomous chunk of code that can be
refactored, removed from kauditd_thread() into flush_hold_queue() and
flattenned for better legibility.

This is a code clean up in preparation to add a multicast netlink socket to
kaudit for read-only userspace clients such as systemd, in addition to the
bidirectional audit userspace client.
