Subject: [PATCH 034/135] Drivers: hv: util: Increase the timeout for util
services
[ Upstream commit c0b200cfb0403740171c7527b3ac71d03f82947a ]
Util services such as KVP and FCOPY need assistance from daemon's running
in user space. Increase the timeout so we don't prematurely terminate
the transaction in the kernel. Host sets up a 60 second timeout for
all util driver transactions. The host will retry the transaction if it
times out. Set the guest timeout at 30 seconds.
