NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4 requests over TCP
RFC3530 section 3.1.1 states an NFSv4 client MUST NOT send a request twice on the same connection unless it is the NULL procedure. Section 3.1.1 suggests that the client should disconnect and reconnect if it wants to retry a request. Implement this by adding an rpc_clnt flag that an ULP can use to specify that the underlying transport should be disconnected on a major timeout. The NFSv4 client asserts this new flag, and requests no retries after a minor retransmit timeout. Note that disconnecting on a retransmit is in general not safe to do if the RPC client does not reuse the TCP port number when reconnecting.
