If an RPC client is created without RPC_CLNT_CREATE_REUSEPORT, it should
not reuse the source port when a TCP connection is re-established.
This is currently implemented by preventing the source port being
recorded after a successful connection (the call to xs_set_srcport()).
However the source port is also recorded after a successful bind in xs_bind().
This may not be needed at all and certainly is not wanted when
RPC_CLNT_CREATE_REUSEPORT wasn't requested.
So avoid that assignment when xprt.reuseport is not set.
With this change, NFSv4.1 and later mounts use a different port number on
each connection. This is helpful with some firewalls which don't cope
well with port reuse.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
