Before rebooting the box, a "ssh sync" is called to the test machine to see if it is alive or not. But if the test machine is in a partial state, that ssh may never actually finish, and the ktest test hangs.
Add a 10 second timeout to the sync test, which will fail after 10 seconds and then cause the test to reboot the test machine.
