I think this is a kernel bug.  You can fix it by reverting

Commit: 4b0ab51db32e ("SUNRPC: xs_sock_mark_closed() does not need to trigger socket autoclose")

See also http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg59264.html and

The delay at 'read' is waiting for nfsd_mutex.  Probably something else
was trying to start up nfsd and hit the 3 minute wait while writing the
threads.  Maybe you interrupted that or backgrounded it or something.

This one is the real problem.  Starting nfsd tries to register with
rpcbind (even for v4-only) and (due to the bug) it takes 3 minutes to
timeout.
