Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] PM: hibernate: allow wait_for_device_probe() to
 timeout when resuming from hibernation

syzbot is reporting hung task at misc_open() [1], for there is a race
window of AB-BA deadlock which involves probe_count variable.

Even with "char: misc: allow calling open() callback without misc_mtx
held" and "PM: hibernate: call wait_for_device_probe() without
system_transition_mutex held", wait_for_device_probe() from snapshot_open()
can sleep forever if probe_count cannot become 0.

Since snapshot_open() is a userland-driven hibernation/resume request,
it should be acceptable to fail if something is wrong. Users would not
want to wait for hours if device stopped responding. Therefore, introduce
killable version of wait_for_device_probe() with timeout.

According to Oliver Neukum, there are SCSI commands that can run for more
than 60 seconds. Therefore, this patch choose 5 minutes for timeout.
