In which thread is it supposed to be deleted?

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

Chris and I talked about this. We have an explicit hand-off of the state tree in ScrollingCoordinatorMac::commitTreeState() which may be tripping his assertions.

I am not familiar enough with this part of the code to be sure, but looking at the ScrollingStateNode data members, I do not see anything obviously unsafe if constructing them on the main thread and then destroying them on the scrolling thread.
