xfs: normalize "infinite" retries in error configs
As it stands today, the "fail immediately" vs. "retry forever" values for max_retries and retry_timeout_seconds in the xfs metadata error configurations are not consistent. A retry_timeout_seconds of 0 means "retry forever," but a max_retries of 0 means "fail immediately." retry_timeout_seconds < 0 is disallowed, while max_retries == -1 means "retry forever." Make this consistent across the error configs, such that a value of 0 means "fail immediately" (i.e. wait 0 seconds, or retry 0 times), and a value of -1 always means "retry forever." This makes retry_timeout a signed long to accommodate the -1, even though it stores jiffies. Given our limit of a 1 day maximum timeout, this should be sufficient even at much higher HZ values than we have available today.
