Thanks Gaosheng for the bug report, I'm able to reproduce this and I'm
looking into it now. I'll report back when I have a better idea of
the problem and a potential fix.

I want to stop droping the logs into audit_hold_queue when the auditd is abnormal.it
seems that this modification goes against the design intent of audit_hold_queue. its
effect is similar to removing the audit_hold_queue.

We can't toggle the audit_default setting like this, that isn't
acceptable upstream. I believe I have a fix, but I need to finish the
testing before I can post it for further review.
