[PATCH] eal/x86: enable timeout in AMD power monitor

Previously, the AMD power monitor implementation did not enable the
timeout, causing the lcore to remain in a wait state until an external
monitoring event occurred or an interrupt was received.

This patch enables the timeout-based exit condition, allowing
the lcore to automatically wake up after the specified period.
The maximum supported timeout value is 2^32 - 1.
