The answer is to remove "options NFS" from your kernel and recompile. 

If you enable the nfs client, you automatically get "nfsiod" threads
created for you, just like if you have acpi compiled into your kernel,
you get "acpi_task*" threads, or if you have a keyboard plugged in, you
get an "irq1: atkbd0" thread.  Neither of those existed in 4.* and
you're not complaining about them.  What is it about those four nfsiod
threads that upsets you so much?
