Write issue taskq shouldn't be dynamic

This is as much an upstream compatibility as it's a bit of a performance
gain.

The illumos taskq implemention doesn't allow a TASKQ_THREADS_CPU_PCT type
to be dynamic and in fact enforces as much with an ASSERT.

As to performance, if this taskq is dynamic, it can cause excessive
contention on tq_lock as the threads are created and destroyed because it
can see bursts of many thousands of tasks in a short time, particularly
in heavy high-concurrency zvol write workloads.
