The standard scsi timeout is not appropriate in some of the environments where
Hyper-V is deployed. Set this timeout appropriately for all devices managed
by this driver.

On cloud environments where storage latencies may be unbounded, having the scsi
layer initiating recovery can be problematic since (a) the host is already
implementing a variety of recovery strategies and (b) implementing a recovery
strategy at the VM level may be more appropriate in cases where storage 
latencies
exceed a certain threshold.
