If there is no replication traffic within the idle timeout
(ping-int seconds), DRBD will send a P_PING,
and adjust the timeout to ping-timeout.

If there is no P_PING_ACK received within this ping-timeout,
DRBD finally drops the connection, and tries to re-establish it.

To decide which timeout was active, we compared the current timeout
with the ping-timeout, and dropped the connection, if that was the case.

By default, ping-int is 10 seconds, ping-timeout is 500 ms.

Unfortunately, if you configure ping-timeout to be the same as ping-int,
expiry of the idle-timeout had been mistaken for a missing ping ack,
and caused an immediate reconnection attempt.

Fix:
Allow both timeouts to be equal, use a local variable
to store which timeout is active.
