[NETLINK]: Fix unicast timeouts

Commit ed6dcf4a in the history.git tree broke netlink_unicast timeouts by moving the schedule_timeout() call to a new function that doesn't propagate the remaining timeout back to the caller. This means on each retry we start with the full timeout again.

ipc/mqueue.c seems to actually want to wait indefinitely so this behaviour is retained.

Applied, and I'll queue this up for -stable, thanks Patrick!
