Add a struct timer_list to struct gb_operation and use that to implement generic operation timeouts.
This simplifies the synchronous operation handling somewhat while also providing a generic timeout mechanism that drivers can use for asynchronous operations.

Greg,
I believe you can apply this one now. This is the right way to implement operation timeouts, and it is independent of Bryan's patches converting loopback to use the new interface, which can be applied on top when they are ready.
Thanks, Johan
