tests: tail-2/pid: use a 3-second timeout, not 1
* tests/tail-2/pid: When using the timeout program to ensuring that tail -s.1 --pid=$PID_T_MAX does not wait forever, use a timeout longer than 1 second. A 1-second timeout could be too short on a very busy system, and result in a timeout, and hence false-positive failure. 2009-09-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
