iscsi-target: Bump defaults for nopin_timeout + nopin_response_timeout values
This patch increases the default for nopin_timeout to 15 seconds (wait
between sending a new NopIN ping) and nopin_response_timeout to 30 seconds
(wait for NopOUT response before failing the connection) in order to avoid
false positives by iSCSI Initiators who are not always able (under load) to
respond to NopIN echo PING requests within the current 5 second window.
False positives have been observed recently using Open-iSCSI code on v3.3.x
with heavy large-block READ workloads over small MTU 1 Gb/sec ports, and
increasing these values to more reasonable defaults significantly reduces
the possibility of false positive NopIN response timeout events under
this specific workload.
Historically these have been set low to initiate connection recovery as
soon as possible if we don't hear a ping back, but for modern v3.x code
on 1 -> 10 Gb/sec ports these new defaults make alot more sense.
