Ido Schimmel e256f8d845 devlink: Wait longer before warning about unset port type 
commit 4c582234ab upstream.

The commit cited below causes devlink to emit a warning if a type was
not set on a devlink port for longer than 30 seconds to "prevent
misbehavior of drivers". This proved to be problematic when
unregistering the backing netdev. The flow is always:

devlink_port_type_clear()	// schedules the warning
unregister_netdev()		// blocking
devlink_port_unregister()	// cancels the warning

The call to unregister_netdev() can block for long periods of time for
various reasons: RTNL lock is contended, large amounts of configuration
to unroll following dismantle of the netdev, etc. This results in
devlink emitting a warning despite the driver behaving correctly.

In emulated environments (of future hardware) which are usually very
slow, the warning can also be emitted during port creation as more than
30 seconds can pass between the time the devlink port is registered and
when its type is set.

In addition, syzbot has hit this warning [1] 1974 times since 07/11/19
without being able to produce a reproducer. Probably because
reproduction depends on the load or other bugs (e.g., RTNL not being
released).

To prevent bogus warnings, increase the timeout to 1 hour.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
