No. This would imply setting it in slave_configure, and which means commands
artificially have a longer timeout at all times, not just when we're in a
loss of connectivity.

I had considered having eh_timed_out return a time adder, so we timeout once
rather than periodically based on the io timeout value. However, the
calculations to come up with how much time remains on the dev_loss_tmo value,
coupled with adding a return value to this function, didn't seem worth it.
