make sure sync cannot block reboot

The recent discussed improvement has the risk that if 'sync' hangs, the reboot may be delayed in the same way as the 'reboot' command would do. To work around, we're adding a 5 second timeout. If it cannot sync in 5 seconds, it will not succeed anyway and we should proceed the reset.

@snuf: Could we use your OVM3 heartbeat script for other hypervisors as well? One way to do it seems like a nice idea :-)
