SUNRPC: Support registering IPv6 interfaces with local rpcbind daemon
Introduce a new API to register RPC services on IPv6 interfaces to allow
the NFS server and lockd to advertise on IPv6 networks.
Unlike rpcb_register(), the new rpcb_v4_register() function uses rpcbind
protocol version 4 to contact the local rpcbind daemon. The version 4
SET/UNSET procedures allow services to register address families besides
AF_INET, register at specific network interfaces, and register transport
protocols besides UDP and TCP. All of this functionality is exposed via
the new rpcb_v4_register() kernel API.
A user-space rpcbind daemon implementation that supports version 4 of the
rpcbind protocol is required in order to make use of this new API.
Note that rpcbind version 3 is sufficient to support the new rpcbind
facilities listed above, but most extant implementations use version 4.
