udevd: kill hanging event processes after 30 seconds
Some broken kernel drivers load firmware synchronously in the module init path and block modprobe until the firmware request is fulfilled. The modprobe-generated firmware request is a direct child device of the device which caused modprobe to run. Child device event are blocked until the parent device is handled. This dead-locks until the kernel firmware loading timeout of 60 seconds is reached. The hanging modprobe event should now time-out and allow the firmware event to run before the 60 second kernel timeout.
