[PATCH v3] video: fbdev: pm2fb: avoid stall on fb_sync

pm2fb_sync is called when doing /dev/fb read or write.
The original pm2fb_sync wait indefinitely on hardware flags which can
possibly stall kernel and make everything unresponsive.
Instead of waiting indefinitely, we can timeout to give user a chance to
get back control.
