This is entirely the wrong place for this kind of control mechanism.

TLS vs not-TLS needs to be decided up front when we initialise the
transport (i.e. at mount time or whenever the pNFS channels are set
up). Otherwise, we're vulnerable to downgrade attacks.

Once we've decided that TLS is the right thing to do, then we shouldn't
declare to the RPC layer that the TLS-enabled transport is connected
until the underlying transport connection is established, and the TLS
handshake is done.
