This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by the string based mounts.
nfs_mount() statically returns -EACCES for every error returned
by the remote mounted. This is incorrect because -EACCES is
an non-fatal error to the mount.nfs command. This error causes
mount.nfs to retry the mount even in the case when the exported
directory does not exist.

I don't doubt this is the case, but I'd like to see a few real world examples (maybe even add them as documentary comments in mount.nfs or in the kernel).

This patch maps the errors returned by the remote mountd into
valid errno values, exactly how it was done pre-string based mounts. By returning the correct errno enables mount.nfs to do the right thing.

This probably isn't necessary. It looks like nfs_stat_to_errno() already does everything you want.

The question here is whether nfs_mount's other caller (NFSROOT) can handle error codes other than EACCES.
