gpio: virtio: remove timeout
[ Upstream commit 3e4d9a485029aa9e172dab5420abe775fd86f8e8 ]
The driver imposes an arbitrary one second timeout on virtio requests,
but the specification doesn't prevent the virtio device from taking
longer to process requests, so remove this timeout to support all
systems and device implementations.
