Autobinding is handled by the rpciod process, not in user processes
that are generating regular RPC requests. Thus autobinding is usually
not affected by signals targetting user processes, such as KILL or
timer expiration events.
In addition, an RPC request generated by a user process that has
RPC_TASK_SOFTCONN set and needs to perform an autobind will hang if
the remote rpcbind service is not available.
For rpcbind queries on connection-oriented transports, let's use the
new soft connect semantic to return control to the user's process
quickly, if the kernel's rpcbind client can't connect to the remote
rpcbind service.
Logic is introduced in call_bind_status() to handle connection errors
that occurred during an asynchronous rpcbind query. The logic
abandons the rpcbind query if the RPC request has SOFTCONN set, and
retries after a few seconds in the normal case.
