SUNRPC: RPC bind failures should be permanent for NULL requests
The purpose of an RPC ping (a NULL request) is to determine whether the remote end is operating and supports the RPC program and version of the request. If we do an RPC bind and the remote's rpcbind service says "this program or service isn't supported" then we have our answer already, and we should give up immediately. This is good for the kernel mount client, as it will cause the request to fail, and then allow an immediate retry with different options.
