Reduce GC e2e test flakiness

Increase GC wait timeout in a flaky e2e test. The test expects a GC
operation to be performed within 30s, while in practice the operation
often takes longer due to a delay between the enqueueing of the owner's
delete operation and the GC's actual processing of that event. Doubling
the time seems to stabilize the test. The test's assumptions can be
revisited, and the processing delay under load can be investigated in
the future.
