The attempt to merge changes from the linux libtirpc caused
rpc.lockd to exit after startup under unclear conditions.
After many hours of selective experiments and inconsistent results
the conclusion is that it's better to just revert everything and
restart in a future time with a much smaller subset of the
changes.

Fixed infinite loop in svc_run()

__rpc_taddr2uaddr_af() assumes the netbuf to always have a
non-zero data. This is a bad assumption and can lead to a
seg-fault. This patch adds a check for zero length and returns
NULL when found.

libtirpc: set r_netid and r_owner in __rpcb_findaddr_timed
These fields in the rpcbind GETADDR call are being passed uninitialized
to CLNT_CALL. In the case of x86_64 at least, this usually leads to a
segfault. On x86, it sometimes causes segfaults and other times causes
garbage to be sent on the wire.
rpcbind generally ignores the r_owner field for calls that come in over
the wire, so it really doesn't matter what we send in that slot. We just
need to send something. The reference implementation from Sun seems to
send a blank string. Have ours follow suit.

libtirpc: be sure to free cl_netid and cl_tp
When creating a client with clnt_tli_create, it uses strdup to copy
strings for these fields if nconf is passed in. clnt_dg_destroy frees
these strings already. Make sure clnt_vc_destroy frees them in the same
way.

non-interruptible NFS mounts, where a kernel thread will seem
to be stuck sleeping on "rpccon". The msleep() in clnt_vc_create()
that was waiting to a TCP connect to complete would return ERESTART,
since PCATCH was specified. Then the tsleep() in clnt_reconnect_call()
would sleep for 1 second and then try again and again and...
The patch changes the msleep() in clnt_vc_create() so it only sets
the PCATCH flag for interruptible cases.

user-mode lock manager, build a kernel with the NFSLOCKD option and
add '-k' to 'rpc_lockd_flags' in rc.conf.
Highlights include:
* Thread-safe kernel RPC client - many threads can use the same RPC
client handle safely with replies being de-multiplexed at the socket
upcall (typically driven directly by the NIC interrupt) and handed
off to whichever thread matches the reply. For UDP sockets, many RPC
clients can share the same socket. This allows the use of a single
privileged UDP port number to talk to an arbitrary number of remote
hosts.
* Single-threaded kernel RPC server. Adding support for multi-threaded
server would be relatively straightforward and would follow
approximately the Solaris KPI. A single thread should be sufficient
for the NLM since it should rarely block in normal operation.
* Kernel mode NLM server supporting cancel requests and granted
callbacks. I've tested the NLM server reasonably extensively - it
passes both my own tests and the NFS Connectathon locking tests
running on Solaris, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux.
* Userland NLM client supported. While the NLM server doesn't have
support for the local NFS client's locking needs, it does have to
field async replies and granted callbacks from remote NLMs that the
local client has contacted. We relay these replies to the userland
rpc.lockd over a local domain RPC socket.
* Robust deadlock detection for the local lock manager. In particular
it will detect deadlocks caused by a lock request that covers more
than one blocking request. As required by the NLM protocol, all
deadlock detection happens synchronously - a user is guaranteed that
if a lock request isn't rejected immediately, the lock will
eventually be granted. The old system allowed for a 'deferred
deadlock' condition where a blocked lock request could wake up and
find that some other deadlock-causing lock owner had beaten them to
the lock.
* Since both local and remote locks are managed by the same kernel
locking code, local and remote processes can safely use file locks
for mutual exclusion. Local processes have no fairness advantage
compared to remote processes when contending to lock a region that
has just been unlocked - the local lock manager enforces a strict
first-come first-served model for both local and remote lockers.
