Timer update in tcp_epoll_ctl() has been added by bb708111833e ("treewide: Packet abstraction with mandatory boundary checks") because epoll_ref stores "conn - tc" that can change in tcp_table_compact().
But since e2e8219f13b8 ("flow, tcp: Consolidate flow pointer<->index helpers") we use FLOW_IDX() and since 8981a720aac4 ("flow: Avoid moving flow entries to compact table") flow table doesn't use a compaction procedure so FLOW_IDX() never changes.
Updating the timer event is now a no-op, remove it from tcp_epoll_ctl().
