The dmatest module parameter 'timeout' is documented as accepting a
-1 to mean "infinite timeout". Howver, an infinite timeout is not
advised, nor possible since the module parameter is an unsigned int,
which won't accept a negative value. Change the parameter
comment to reflect current behavior, which allows values from 0 up to
4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF).
