I've been running this in my personal CI for a little while now and I'm
finding it's pretty marginal for the 45 second default timeout in
kselftest on some platforms, especially BeagleBone Black though it's not
just that.  BBB is both slow and has a comprehensive DT which won't help
matters, there's 253 devices.

I'm running it from nfsroot which is going to be part of the problem but
shouldn't be too bad since we're mainly dealing with proc and sysfs and
hopefully mostly running cached binaries, I'm also using a serial
console to get the output which is going to add overhead especially with
a large number odevices with length names.  I'm not sure what the best
solution is here - a quick glance at the code doesn't ring any alarm
bells for me, this may just be a reasonable runtime for the test.
