What this PR does / why we need it:
We're experiencing deadlocks on the concurrent tests on the MPSC priority queue, so far only on aarch64 in our CI. This may either reveal a thread-safety issue in the queue's implementation, or may just be pathological due to the scheduler being unpredictable -- the queue can order elements already pushed, but can't know if an higher-priority event is not yet pushed due to its producer being sleepy. This PR solves the issue by making the test fail with a timeout, and provides more in-depth messages about the failure. Also, the exit condition of the loop was still faulty in case of out-of-order elements, so this should also be cleared now.
