[SRU Justification]

[Impact]
Some NVMe operations time out too quickly. The module parameters allow
the timeouts to be extended, but only up to 255s, as the counters are
bytes.

[Fix]
The underlying parameters are unsigned ints, so make the module
parameters unsigned ints too, by picking patch

[Regression Potential]
Very limited: only types of module parameters are changing, the patch
is easily reviewable.
