The timeout for synchronous checks is only 1ms when async path
checking is used, which may easily be missed on busy systems.
That's not a problem for the path checker, because it simply
repeats the check one tick later. However, when maps are
set up (e.g. when new paths are detected), it's desirable
to get the number of active paths right. Therefore, wait a bit
longer if path checkers are found pending in setup_map().
