Neil, I'm not seeing this, I must be missing something.

RPC_AUTH_TLS is used only on NULL procedures.

The export's xprtsec= setting determines whether a TLS session must
be present to access the files on the export. If the TLS session
meets the xprtsec= policy, then the normal user authentication
settings apply. In other words, I don't think execution gets close
to check_nfsd_access() unless the xprtsec policy setting is met.

I'm not convinced check_nfsd_access() needs to care about
RPC_AUTH_TLS. Can you expand a little on your concern?
