Avoid using nfsd process pools on SMP machines.
process-pools have real benefits for NUMA, but on SMP
machines they only work if network interface interrupts
go to all CPUs (via round-robin or multiple nics). This is
not always the case, so disable the pools in this case until
a better solution is developped.
