	Fix rhbz445268: Increase bindings file lock timeout to avoid failure of user_friendly_names map
	
	Backport from upstream.

	Subject: [PATCH] Increase bindings file lock timeout to avoid failure of user_friendly_names map.
	
	On setups with a large number of paths / multipath maps, contention for
	the advisory lock on the bindings file may take longer than 3 seconds,
	and some multipath processes may create maps based on WWID despite having
	user_friendly_names set.  Increasing the timeout is a simple fix that
	gets us a bit further.
	
	More extensive fixes might include:
	1) improving the efficiency of the critical section code
	2) use shared/read locks initially, then use exclusive/write locks only when
	it is known the bindings file needs updated
