Add PF_KCOMPACTD flag and current_is_kcompactd() helper to check for
it so nfs_release_folio() can skip calling nfs_wb_folio() from
kcompactd.
Otherwise NFS can deadlock waiting for kcompactd enduced writeback
which recurses back to NFS (which triggers writeback to NFSD via
NFS loopback mount on the same host, NFSD blocks waiting for XFS's
call to __filemap_get_folio):
