Subject: [PATCH 5.4 074/123] ktest: Add timeout for ssh sync testing

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

commit 4d00fc477a2ce8b6d2b09fb34ef9fe9918e7d434 upstream.

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.
