Subject: [ 30/60] SUNRPC: Dont auto-disconnect from the local rpcbind socket

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>

commit 00326ed6442c66021cd4b5e19e80f3e2027d5d42 upstream.

There is no need for the kernel to time out the AF_LOCAL connection to
the rpcbind socket, and doing so is problematic because when it is
time to reconnect, our process may no longer be using the same mount
namespace.
