-Expiration time in milliseconds. This value has two meanings. First it is
-used to determine when the spa_deadman() logic should fire. By default the
-spa_deadman() will fire if spa_sync() has not completed in 1000 seconds.
-Secondly, the value determines if an I/O is considered "hung". Any I/O that
-has not completed in zfs_deadman_synctime_ms is considered "hung" resulting
-in a zevent being logged.
