[PATCH] udp, icmp: Remove unused timer_run fields from protocol contexts

[PATCH] udp, icmp: Remove unused timer_run fields from protocol contexts

[Laurent Vivier]

Since 260075bde769 ("tcp, udp, fwd: Run all port scanning from a
single timer"), CALL_PROTO_HANDLER() is only used for TCP.  UDP and
ICMP timers now run from flow_defer_handler(), making the timer_run
fields in struct udp_ctx and struct icmp_ctx dead stores.

Remove the unused fields, drop struct icmp_ctx entirely (it has no
remaining members), and stop initialising them in timer_init().
