My assumption in reading this set (maybe wrong) was that this was a
preliminary set for now that just plops in function calls in the places
that do this sort of thing now. I figured that eventually he'd convert
rpcb_create_local, et. al. to do the same thing but within the correct
namespace for the calling task.

I'm not sure that solves anything. I'd also ass|u|me that something
here (the xprt?) will hold a reference to its netns. If we try to do
this with pernet ops, then I think we'd end up with a chicken-and-egg
problem...

I think the simplest solution would be to basically call these
functions closer to where the rpcbind calls happen today, and just
don't do them when the svc_program has vs_hidden set or if the xprt is
being created with SVC_SOCK_ANONYMOUS set.

In fact, a rethink of the vs_hidden/SVC_SOCK_ANONYMOUS scheme would
probably be a good preliminary patch here. There's a lot of overlap
between those two flags, and somehow consolidating them would probably
be a good thing.
