Subject: [PATCH] fs/nilfs2: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer()
to pass the timer pointer explicitly. This requires adding a pointer to
hold the timer's target task, as the lifetime of sc_task doesn't appear to
match the timer's task.
