I'm using nginx + php-fpm, but there is abnormal load on /tmp when no files are noted in /tmp at all.

A convenient way of using temporary files is to open and delete them. It
removes the filename, which hides it from "ls", among other things.

See ngx_open_tempfile in the source, for an example.

Try "lsof /tmp" to see what open filehandles are in that directory.

Good luck with it,
