Subject: [net 9/9] net/mlx5: Fix driver use of uninitialized timeout

From: Shay Drory <shayd@...dia.com>

Currently, driver is setting default values to all timeouts during
function setup. The offending commit is using a timeout before
function setup, meaning: the timeout is 0 (or garbage), since no
value have been set.
This may result in failure to probe the driver:
mlx5_function_setup:1034:(pid 69850): Firmware over 4294967296 MS in pre-initializing state, aborting
probe_one:1591:(pid 69850): mlx5_init_one failed with error code -16

Hence, set default values to timeouts during tout_init()

Fixes: 37ca95e62ee2 ("net/mlx5: Increase FW pre-init timeout for health recovery")
