[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: increase the default timeout in wait_seqno to 60s

We'll loop forever, but if we wake up before the hangcheck time has a
chance to complain that we're stuck waiting for the interrupt we'll
loose that valuable debug tool. And silently blocking for 1 second is
just not the right approach.

Noticed since Paulo reported a suspicious 2 fps when running glxgears
with pc8+ enabled. Since mesa stalls for the second-last frame before
rendering a new one this is perfectly explained by hitting the 1
second timeout.

This regression has been introduced in Ben's wait with timeout ioctl
work in:

    drm/i915: timeout parameter for seqno wait

Also fix whitespace in that line while at it and add an explicit
comment.
