NSM: Make sure to return an error if the SM_MON call result is not zero
The nsm_monitor() function reports an error and does not set sm_monitored if the SM_MON upcall reply has a non-zero result code, but nsm_monitor() does not return an error to its caller in this case. Since sm_monitored is not set, the upcall is retried when the next NLM request invokes nsm_monitor(). However, that may not come for a while. In the meantime, at least one NLM request will potentially proceed without the peer being monitored properly. Have nsm_monitor() return an error if the result code is non-zero. This will cause all NLM requests to fail immediately if the upcall completed successfully but rpc.statd returned an error. This may be inconvenient in some cases (for example if rpc.statd cannot complete a proper DNS reverse lookup of the hostname), but will make the reboot monitoring service more robust by forcing such issues to be corrected by an admin.
