[PATCH] file: kill unnecessary timer in fdtable_defer
free_fdtable_rc() schedules timer to reschedule fddef->wq if schedule_work() on it returns 0. However, schedule_work() guarantees that the target work is executed at least once after the scheduling regardless of its return value. 0 return simply means that the work was already pending and thus no further action was required. Another problem is that it used contant '5' as @expires argument to mod_timer(). Kill unnecessary fddef->timer.
