This timeout was added to catch reader related deadlocks. We have not
seen such deadlocks for a long time, but we did see false-timeouts
caused by this, see explanation below. Since the cost now outweight the
benefit, remove the timeout altogether.
The false timeout happens during mixed-shard repair. The
`reader_permit::set_timeout()` call is called on the top-level permit
which repair has a handle on. In the case of the mixed-shard repair,
this belongs to the multishard reader. Calling set_timeout() on the
multishard reader has no effect on the actual shard readers, except in
one case: when the shard reader is created, it inherits the multishard
reader's current timeout. As the shard reader can be alive for a long
time, this timeout is not refreshed and ultimately causes a timeout and
fails the repair.
