rcu: Allow up to five minutes expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeouts

The maximum value of RCU CPU stall-warning timeouts has historically been
five minutes (300 seconds).  However, the recently introduced expedited
RCU CPU stall-warning timeout is instead limited to 21 seconds.  This
causes problems for CI/fuzzing services such as syzkaller by obscuring
the issue in question with expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout splats.

This commit therefore sets the RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT Kconfig options
upper bound to 300000 milliseconds, which is 300 seconds (AKA 5 minutes).
