Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 3/4] ktest: Add timeout for ssh sync testing

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

Before rebooting the box, a "ssh sync" is called to the test machine to see
if it is alive or not. But if the test machine is in a partial state, that
ssh may never actually finish, and the ktest test hangs.

Add a 10 second timeout to the sync test, which will fail after 10 seconds
and then cause the test to reboot the test machine.
