Increase latency threshold for list api calls
This is only a short-term solution to make our density test green. In the long-term, we should measure as per our new SLIs.
From @wojtek-t's [doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q5qxdeBPgTTIXZxdsFILg7kgqWhvOwY8uROEf0j5YBw) on the new SLIs/SLOs, we have the following SLO for list calls:
```
SLO1: In default Kubernetes installation, 99th percentile of SLI2 per cluster-day:
<= 1s if total number of objects of the same type as resource in the system <= X
<= 5s if total number of objects of the same type as resource in the system <= Y
<= 30s if total number of objects of the same types as resource in the system <= Z
```
I would guess that 170,000 pods would fall into the 2nd bracket (at least) and hence the new value of 5s. WDYT?
