[SRU Justification]
[Impact] Some NVMe operations time out too quickly. The module parameters allow the timeouts to be extended, but only up to 255s, as the counters are bytes.
[Fix] The underlying parameters are unsigned ints, so make the module parameters unsigned ints too, by picking patch http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2017-September/012701.html
[Regression Potential] Very limited: only types of module parameters are changing, the patch is easily reviewable.
