Subject: [PATCH v2] SUNRPC: fix shutdown of NFS TCP client socket

NFS server Duplicate Request Cache (DRC) algorithms rely on NFS clients
reconnecting using the same local TCP port. Unique NFS operations are
identified by the per-TCP connection set of XIDs. This prevents file
corruption when non-idempotent NFS operations are retried.

Currently, NFS client TCP connections are using different local TCP ports
when reconnecting to NFS servers.

After an NFS server initiates shutdown of the TCP connection, the NFS
client's TCP socket is set to NULL after the socket state has reached
TCP_LAST_ACK(9). When reconnecting, the new socket attempts to reuse
the same local port but fails with EADDRNOTAVAIL (99). This forces the
socket to use a different local TCP port to reconnect to the remote NFS
server.

State Transition and Events:
TCP_CLOSE_WAIT(8)
TCP_LAST_ACK(9)
connect(fail EADDRNOTAVAIL(99))
TCP_CLOSE(7)
bind on new port
connect success
