[PATCH] NFS: use a constant value for TCP retransmit timeouts
Implement a best practice: don't use exponential backoff when computing retransmit timeout values on TCP connections, but simply retransmit at regular intervals. This also fixes a bug introduced when xprt_reset_majortimeo() was added. Test-plan: Enable RPC debugging and watch timeout behavior on a NFS/TCP mount.
