[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.
