If we reduce the 'safe_mode_delay', it could still wait for the old delay to completely expire before doing anything about safe_mode. Thus the effect if the change is delayed. To make the effect more immediate, run the timeout function immediately if the delay was reduced. This may cause it to run slightly earlier that required, but that is the safer option.
