Subject: [PATCH 4.17 281/336] scsi: megaraid_sas: Increase timeout by 1 sec for non-RAID fastpath IOs

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shivasharan S <shivasharan.srikanteshwara@...adcom.com>

[ Upstream commit 3239b8cd28fd849a2023483257d35d68c5876c74 ]

Hardware could time out Fastpath IOs one second earlier than the timeout
provided by the host.

For non-RAID devices, driver provides timeout value based on OS provided
timeout value. Under certain scenarios, if the OS provides a timeout
value of 1 second, due to above behavior hardware will timeout
immediately.

Increase timeout value for non-RAID fastpath IOs by 1 second.
