Remove default taskq thread to CPU bindings

When this code was written it appears to have been assumed that
every taskq would have a large number of threads.  In this case
it would make sense to attempt to evenly bind the threads over
all available CPUs.  However, it failed to consider that creating
taskqs with a small number of threads will cause the CPUs with
lower ids become over-subscribed.

For this reason the kthread_bind() call is being removed and
we're leaving the kernel to schedule these threads as it sees fit.
