Chuck Lever c526611dd6 SUNRPC: Use a cached RPC client and transport for rpcbind upcalls
The kernel's rpcbind client creates and deletes an rpc_clnt and its
underlying transport socket for every upcall to the local rpcbind
daemon.

When starting a typical NFS server on IPv4 and IPv6, the NFS service
itself does three upcalls (one per version) times two upcalls (one
per transport) times two upcalls (one per address family), making 12,
plus another one for the initial call to unregister previous NFS
services.  Starting the NLM service adds an additional 13 upcalls,
for similar reasons.

(Currently the NFS service doesn't start IPv6 listeners, but it will
soon enough).

Instead, let's create an rpc_clnt for rpcbind upcalls during the
first local rpcbind query, and cache it.  This saves the overhead of
creating and destroying an rpc_clnt and a socket for every upcall.

The new logic also prevents the kernel from attempting an RPCB_SET or
RPCB_UNSET if it knows from the start that the local portmapper does
not support rpcbind protocol version 4.  This will cut down on the
number of rpcbind upcalls in legacy environments.
