  To: Shuah Khan; +Cc: linux-kselftest, linux-kernel, Florian Schmaus

In slow or emulated environments, the hardcoded 1-second watchdog
timeout in kill_timeout() can easily expire before threads finish
scheduling and processing events, causing spurious test failures.

Add support for KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW, which is already used in kselftest,
to increase the timeout multiplier to 10x (10 seconds). Furthermore,
allow KSFT_TIMEOUT_MUL to explicitly override the multiplier.
