I mean it introduces utterly unnecessary complications that may return
to bite us in the arse at a future time.
Remember how we once said that it would never make sense for child
clones to call the portmapper, and so we added the BUG_ON() in
rpcb_getport_async; well guess what, we currently have a bug to fix...
One pretty obvious fix is to simply move the release method so that it
doesn't occur when you release a child. The disadvantage is that a child
may then not change its program to one that requires a release method
(do we need that?).
Another fix would be to add a refcount to the rpc_program structure...
