After commit f5d4e04634 ("nilfs2: fix use-after-free of timer for log
writer thread") is applied, nilfs_construct_timeout(), which is called by
a timer and wakes up the log writer thread, is never called after the log
writer thread has terminated.
As a result, the member variable "sc_timer_task" of the "nilfs_sc_info"
structure, which was added when timer_setup() was adopted to retain a
reference to the log writer thread's task even after it had terminated, is
no longer needed, as it should be; we can simply use "sc_task" instead,
which holds a reference to the log writer thread's task for its lifetime.
So, eliminate "sc_timer_task" by this means.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
