Subject: [for-next][PATCH 24/33] tracing/selftests: Turn off timeout setting

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

As the ftrace selftests can run for a long period of time, disable the
timeout that the general selftests have. If a selftest hangs, then it
probably means the machine will hang too.
