OverflowError: timeout is too large in gate-neutron-python27

[Mathew Odden]

Have quite a few tests that failed with the following reason that does not appear to be related to my change:

ft258.21: neutron.tests.unit.test_dhcp_agent.TestDhcpAgentEventHandler.test_disable_dhcp_helper_driver_failure_isolated_metadata_StringException: Empty attachments:
