Subject: [PATCH 07/15] Drivers: hv: vss: Operation timeouts should match host expectation

From: Alex Ng <alexng@...sages.microsoft.com>

Increase the timeout of backup operations. When system is under I/O load,
it needs more time to freeze. These timeout values should also match the
host timeout values more closely.
