Use a liberal timeout of 20ms to ensure that the rendering for an
interactive pageflip is started in a timely fashion, and that
user interaction is not blocked by GPU, or CPU, hogs. This is at the cost
of resetting whoever was blocking the preemption, likely leading to that
context/process being banned from submitting future requests.
