Subject: [PATCH v8] staging: axis-fifo: initialize timeouts in init only

Initialize the module parameters, read_timeout and write_timeout once in
init().

Module parameters can only be set once and cannot be modified later, so we
don't need to evaluate them again when passing the parameters to
wait_event_interruptible_timeout().

Convert datatype of {read,write}_timeout from 'int' to 'long int' because
implicit conversion of 'long int' to 'int' in statement
'{read,write}_timeout = MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT' results in an overflow.

Change format specifier for {read,write}_timeout from %i to %li.

Changes in v8:
 - Fixed a spelling mistake

Changes in v7:
 - Fixed a grammatical error

Changes in v6:
 - Initialize module parameters in init instead of probe function.
 - Change the subject and description
 - Change format specifiers of module parameters to "%li"

Changes in v5:
 - Convert module parameters datatype from int to long.
 - Link to patch:
 https://lore.kernel.org/outreachy/ZBMR4s8xyHGqMm72@khadija-virtual-machine/

Changes in v4:
 - Initialize timeouts once as suggested by Greg; this automatically
   fixes the indentation problems.
 - Change the subject and description.
 - Link to patch:
 https://lore.kernel.org/outreachy/ZA4M3+ZeB1Rl2fbs@khadija-virtual-machine/

Changes in v3:
 - Correct grammatical mistakes
 - Do not change the second argument's indentation in split lines

Changes in v2:
 - Instead of matching alignment to open parenthesis, align second and
   the last argument.
 - Change the subject and use imperative language.
