Hrm, this gets pretty messy.

DPM_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT is buried deep in the config options (hidden behind
PM_DEBUG and EXPERT). And as a result doesn't appear to be enabled in
most common kernel configs. It also isn't exported from the PM subsystem
in a generic way.

In addition, I'm not sure what we'd do in case a device demands a 10
second shutdown time but the user has the kernel configured with a 2
second DPM watchdog. Then what? The device is still going to take 10
seconds to complete the shutdown request.
