[PATCH] fixup! audit: try harder to send to auditd upon netlink failure

A bug was introduced by "audit: try harder to send to auditd upon
netlink failure", caused by incomplete code and a function that expects
a string and does not accept a format plus arguments. Create a
temporary string variable to assemble the output text. It could be
merged as a fixup if it is not yet upstream.
