[PATCH v2] NVMe: allow discard timeouts to be configurable

On some devices, size of discard will impact how long it takes to
process, and full device discards can run into the 1-2min range. The
default IO timeout is 30 seconds, and even though that is configurable,
it'd be nice to keep that at a lower value and add a separate module
parameter for discard timeouts.

This patch adds that module parameter, and also defaults timeouts to 300
seconds instead of 30 seconds. That _should_ be enough for everyone.

Changes since v1:

- Move timeout setting into the DISCARD branch of request setup
  earlier, which saves a branch.
