Description of problem:
We use system property "jboss.as.management.blocking.timeout" for a slow starting server to avoid a timeout on startup. It works for a server on the master host-controller but doesn't work a server on a slave host.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
EAP 6.4.14, 6.4.16, 7.0.6


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
It's easily reproducible using a web application that sleeps more than 300 seconds in a ServletContextListener. Configuration files and such a test application are attached as repro.zip.
1. Start master host-controller using domain.xml and host-master.xml in repro.zip.
2. Start slave host-controller using host-slave.xml in repro.zip.
3. Deploy test.war in repro.zip to main-server-group.
3. Start a server on the slave with blocking=true
[domain@localhost:9990 /] /host=slave/server-config=server-one:start(blocking=true)


Actual results:
In CLI:
~~~
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /host=slave/server-config=server-one:start(blocking=true)
{
    "outcome" => "failed",
    "result" => undefined,
    "failure-description" => "JBAS013496: Execution of operation 'start' on remote process at address '[(\"host\" => \"slave\")]' timed out after 305000 ms while awaiting initial response; remote proc
ess has been notified to terminate operation",
    "rolled-back" => true
}
~~~

In the server.log:
~~~

10:18:43,894 INFO  [stdout] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 56) Sleeping for 302 secconds...
~~~


Expected results:
No errors in CLI and the server.log and the server is able to start.


Additional info:
Without blocking=true, which is the default, the server on the slave is able to start.
For a server on the master is able to start even with blocking=true (/host=master/server-config=server-zero:start(blocking=true)).
