sbi->gc_thread->gc_urgent

Previously, we allocate memory for sbi->gc_thread based on background
gc thread mount option, the memory can be released if we turn off
that mount option, but still there are several places access gc_thread
pointer without considering race condition, result in NULL point
dereference.

In order to fix this issue, keep gc_thread structure valid in sbi all
the time instead of alloc/free it dynamically.
