From: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> commit 80ed4548d0711d15ca51be5dee0ff813051cfc90 upstream. The patch 32b593bfcb58 ("Btrfs: remove no longer used function to run delayed refs asynchronously") removed the async delayed refs but the thread has been created, without any use. Remove it to avoid resource consumption.
