mkswap01_sh test (mkswap01.sh script) sometimes fails on ppc64le on both SLE12 and SLE15 on timeout.

mkswap01 8 TBROK: "check_for_file /dev/disk/by-uuid/cd2f0192-bb94-4907-ac3f-f099baede452" timed out

Manual testing on arm machine (don't have ppc atm) showed that timeout is close to achieve in TST_RETRY_FN_EXP_BACKOFF.
IMHO this function should use LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL as other library functions which have timeout.

NOTE: for arm bug has been reported before, but that's for older version of code

It's a question whether timeout does not indicate some hidden bug (but it'd be then also for arm).
