remove special TIMEOUT handling from incoming queue

Moving events directly to the exec queue instead of the reordering
incoming queue, leaves holes in the sequence, that lead to timeouts for
all other events. Remove that part of the special handling.

(With netlink, events can't get out-of-order and the maximum timeout is 5
seconds and should not cause any trouble with the 10 sec timout for the
firmware class anyway. Events with timeouts are still prioritized for
execution, but don't bypass the incoming queue anymore.)

failure with his DVB device:

My test program that simulates a similar sequence, runs without any delay
now. (With one of the next versions we will make netlink mandatory, then
we can remove the whole input queue crap with the reordering anyway.)
