SUNRPC: Support IPv6 when registering kernel RPC services
In order to advertise NFS-related services on IPv6 interfaces via
rpcbind, the kernel RPC server implementation must use
rpcb_v4_register() instead of rpcb_register().
A new kernel build option allows distributions to use the legacy
v2 call until they integrate an appropriate user-space rpcbind
daemon that can support IPv6 RPC services.
I tried adding some automatic logic to fall back if registering
with a v4 protocol request failed, but there are too many corner
cases. So I just made it a compile-time switch that distributions
can throw when they've replaced portmapper with rpcbind.
