[LU-2455] lctl ping takes too long to timeout

• Type: Bug

Description

lctl ping in theory takes a timeout parameter, with the default timeout being 1 second. In practice, however, the timeout can be significantly longer. It appears that it changes the timeout to 60s if it needs to UNLINK. Is there any way to eliminate this or is it mandatory that if there is an error, pings could take up to 60s? As it is now, the timeout is not very useful.
