Use rpcbind to set the port for the program and version that we were
given in the upcall. The exception here is NFSv4. Since NFSv4 mounts
are supposed to use a well-defined port then skip the rpcbind query
for that and just set the port to the standard one (2049).

And actually, since this test is _after_ the check to see if zero was passed in, I think we probably get correct behavior here if the kernel passes a non-zero port value for an NFSv4 mount. My mistake.

I think this patch set looks pretty reasonable.  Here's my one
remaining quibble.

You can specify "port=" for nfs4 mounts, in which case we want to use
that value here, too, I think.  It would be simpler overall if the
kernel always passed up the value it is using for port= on this mount
point.

The rules for how the kernel uses the port= setting are:

 + if port= is not specified on NFSv2/v3, port= setting is zero
 + if port= is not specified on NFSv4, port= setting is 2049

Then, when setting up a tranport:

 + if the port= setting is zero, do an rpcbind
 + if the port= setting is not zero, use that value

If the kernel always passes the port= setting to gssd, then it can
follow the "if port value is zero, rpcbind; otherwise use port value
as is" rule, and be sure to get correct NFSv4 behavior, even without
the special case you added for NFSv4.

In recent kernels that information is in the "info" file for the given
client in rpc_pipefs.  Kevin and Olga have patches to support that in
gssd, if they aren't already in upstream nfs-utils.

The issue is we're not exactly sure what value the kernel is passing up in the info file. It seems to change over time.

And of course it's important to use that when it's available, to avoid
unnecessary rpcbind calls (in a pure nfsv4 environment the only firewall
hole you should have to poke is for the nfsv4 port), to respect the
port= mount option for people running a v4 server on an alternate port, and for authenticating the callback channel (which won't normally be to
port 2049, and won't (I assume) normally be registered with the
portmapper).
