I'd like to propose a different approach: we can set up rpc_pipefs files
clnt/gssd and clnt/krb5 as "honeypots" that rpc.gssd will connect to,
but that won't do any upcalls. When gssd connects, we set a
per-rpc_net_ns variable that tells us 'gssd' is up and running. That
variable only gets cleared if we see a timeout.
