powerpc/pseries: Increase cpu die timeout

In testing SMT disable, we have been regularly seeing the following
message:

Querying DEAD? cpu %i (%i) shows %i

This indicates the current delay in pseries_cpu_die where we wait
for the specified CPU to die, is insufficient. Usually, this does
not cause a problem, but we've seen this result in BUG_ON's going
off in the timer code when we try to migrate the timers off the
dead cpu while a timer is still running. Increasing this delay,
as is done in this patch, seems to resolve this issue.
