[B][SRU][PATCH 0/1] selftests/net: bump timeout to 5 minutes

[Po-Hsu Lin]

[Impact]
These 3 tests will fail with timeout error when running the whole
"net" test in ubuntu_kernel_selftests:
  * not ok 12 selftests: net: xfrm_policy.sh # TIMEOUT
  * not ok 16 selftests: net: pmtu.sh # TIMEOUT
  * not ok 19 selftests: net: udpgso_bench.sh # TIMEOUT

They will pass if you run them manually. This is because of the
default 45 seconds timeout in kselftest framework.

A quick test shows these tests will take about:
  xfrm_policy.sh - 2m19.690s
  pmtu.sh - 3m6.832s
  udpgso_bench.sh - 0m57.985s

[Fix]
* b881d089c7c9c7 ("selftests/net: bump timeout to 5 minutes")

We have commit 852c8cbf34d3b3 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45
second timeout per test") for default timeout added since Bionic.

However there is a SAUCE patch ("UBUNTU: SAUCE: selftests/net --
disable timeout") to disable timeout for the net test in newer
releases. I think we can leave it as-is for the moment unless some
test is hanging too long because of that.

Therefore Only Bionic needs this patch, the patch can be applied with
some context adjustment.

[Test]
With this patch applied, these tests should have a chance to finish.

[Where problems could occur]
The fix is just for testing tool, no actual impact to real kernel
functions. If this 5 minutes timeout is not enough, we might still
seeing this kind of failures in the test report.
