Originally the zfs_vdev_elevator module option was added as a
convenience so the requested elevator would be automatically set
on the underlying block devices. At the time this was simple
because the kernel provided an API function which did exactly this.
This API was then removed in the Linux 4.12 kernel which prompted
us to add compatibly code to set the elevator via a usermodehelper.
Unfortunately changing the evelator via usermodehelper requires reading
some userland binaries, most notably modprobe(8) or sh(1), from a zfs
dataset on systems with root-on-zfs. This can deadlock the system if
used during the following call path because it may need, if the data
is not already cached in the ARC, reading directly from disk while
holding the spa config lock as a writer:
zfs_ioc_pool_scan()
-> spa_scan()
-> spa_scan()
-> vdev_reopen()
-> vdev_elevator_switch()
-> call_usermodehelper()
While the usermodehelper waits sh(1), modprobe(8) is blocked in the
ZIO pipeline trying to read from disk:
INFO: task modprobe:2650 blocked for more than 10 seconds.
Tainted: P OE 5.2.14

This commit changes how we use the usermodehelper functionality from
synchronous (UMH_WAIT_PROC) to asynchronous (UMH_NO_WAIT) which prevents
scrubs, and other vdev_elevator_switch() consumers, from triggering the
aforementioned issue.
