rpcbind update excessive delay

[Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Applying the most recent batch of updates took excessively long on every  
system I updated.

On the last one, I apparently isolated it to "systemctl restart  
rpcbind.socket" stalling. This gets invoked by the rpcbind package's scripts:

root      9094  9068  0 10:14 tty2     00:00:00 /bin/systemctl restart rpcbind.socket
root      9103  9017  0 10:14 pts/0    00:00:00 ps -fwu root
[root@thinkpad system]# date
Sat Dec 30 10:15:02 EST 2017

At that point, it's been sitting, doing nothing, for about a minute.  
Eventually whatever choked it finally unchoked, and the update continued.

Checking the status of this job:

● rpcbind.socket - RPCbind Server Activation Socket
  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.socket; enabled; vendor prese
  Active: active (running) since Sat 2017-12-30 10:17:21 EST; 39s ago

So, it finally got started @10:17. So, it took around three minutes for  
systemd to figure out how to close and reopen a couple of lousy sockets.  
That's all, apparently, what it had to do here. Amazing.
