 Actually, there's no problem now. But this's not a good style, po_destroy
maybe change the errno later on such as adding a printf.
 So if somebady want modify the po_destroy, he must be careful of it. :)

And, i don't think it's a good idea that explicitly set errno, it maybe make
some trouble in the future. It's better returning error in nfs_do_mount_v3v2,
or save the error in a input parameter. :)
