Chunwei Chen bc25c9325b Use a dedicated taskq for vdev_file
Originally, vdev_file used system_taskq. This would cause a deadlock,
especially on system with few CPUs. The reason is that the prefetcher
threads, which are on system_taskq, will sometimes be blocked waiting
for I/O to finish. If the prefetcher threads consume all the tasks in
system_taskq, the I/O cannot be served and thus results in a deadlock.

We fix this by creating a dedicated vdev_file_taskq for vdev_file I/O.
