NFS client system hangs with heavy IO load, rpciod stuck at nfs_commit_inode often from socket memory allocation

Issue

• Randomly seeing "blocked for more than 120 seconds" and stacktrace on NFS client systems, which seems to occur during periods of heavy IO load.
• See nfs: server [...] not responding, still trying indicating NFS client is having difficulty receiving responses from the NFS server
• vmore shows rpciod, which processes NFS RPC task completions, can end up stuck waiting for NFS operations to complete, in nfs_commit_inode, from a memory allocation path from xs_create_sock, similar to:
