The main problem here is not in creation, but in destroying those clients.
Now rpcbind clients are created during rpcb_register(). I.e. once per every family, program version and so on.
But can be unregistered for all protocol families by one call. So it's impossible to put reference counting for those clients in the place, where they are created now.

Yep, you right. This is not a real problem from my pow.
But I'll think about how to avoid this creation for nfs callbacks.

Probably. Will try to find better place.
