The story is: we turned off the CB_NULL probe in knfsd in the 4.1 case;
it's unnecessary, and it was causing some problems (due partly to other
bugs, but why ask for trouble?).  So these tests started failing.  I'd
fix the server if there was an actual bug, but it's the tests that are
wrong in this case, so oh well.

Right, this is it, CB_NULL probes aren't required.

We're testing something useful, but something you need a callback to
test, so trying to get some other kind of callback (like a deleg recall)
would be another option.
