Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Input: uinput - allow FF requests to time out

Previously uinput force feedback requests waited for the userspace
indefinitely, which caused users to block when uinput server process
become unresponsive. Let's establish a 30 seconds deadline for servicing
upload and erase force feedback effect actions, so that users have a
chance to abort stuck requests.
