Upstream commit f7fb86c6e639360ad9c253cec534819ef928a674 (nfsd: use "init_net" for portmapper) introduced a bug. Starting NFSd in a non init_net network namespace will lead to NULL pointer deference. Because RPCBIND client will be NULL when register RPC service with the local portmapper in svc_addsock().
