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.

 /*
- * Register an RPC service with the local portmapper.
- * To unregister a service, call this routine with
- * proto and port == 0.
+ * Registering kernel RPC services with rpcbind version 2 will work
+ * over either IPv4 or IPv6, since the Linux kernel always registers
+ * services for the "any" address.
+ *
+ * However, the local rpcbind daemon listens on either only AF_INET
+ * or AF_INET6 (never both).  When it listens on AF_INET6, an rpcbind
+ * version 2 registration will result in registering the service at
+ * IN6ADDR_ANY, even if the RPC service being registered is not
+ * IPv6-enabled.
+ *
+ * Rpcbind version 4 allows us to be a little more specific.  Kernel
+ * RPC services that don't yet support AF_INET6 can register
+ * themselves as IPv4-only with the local rpcbind daemon, even if the
+ * daemon is listening only on AF_INET6.
+ *
+ * And, registering IPv6-enabled kernel RPC services via AF_INET6
+ * verifies that the local user space rpcbind daemon is properly
+ * configured to support remote AF_INET6 rpcbind requests.
+ *
+ * An AF_INET6 registration request will fail if the local rpcbind
+ * daemon is not set up to listen on AF_INET6.  Likewise, we fail
+ * AF_INET6 registration requests if svc_register() is configured to
+ * support only rpcbind version 2.
