Mirroring: "TOP or FETCH clause contains an invalid value" at validating mirroring settings

Description

Steps to reproduce
1. Upgrade a 7.5 CMS site to 10.1.0.0.
2. Configure mirroring from Page1 to Page2 -> mirroring settings are valid and its function runs properly.
3. Upgrade to CMS Core 10.3.x.
4. Open Config > Mirroring > check the system for the mirroring settings.

Expected: Validation is OK.
Actual: Error message below appears in the Messages column.
Observed:
_ When checking the system again, you see warning message as "Failed to check system, the reason is Error executing task "m1 > m2": The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:01:00. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout."
_ When run the Mirroring Service job, failed with error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. [Error executing task "m1 > m2": An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://vnlabvm10:17000/MirroringSourceServer.svc. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.
