Disable direct reclaim in taskq worker threads on Linux 3.9+

Illumos does not have direct reclaim and code run inside taskq worker
threads is not designed to deal with it. Allowing direct reclaim inside
a worker thread can therefore deadlock. We set PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO through
memalloc_noio_save() to indicate to the kernel's reclaim code that we
are inside a context where memory allocations cannot be allowed to block
on filesystem activity.
