[PATCH 3/3] NFS: pnfs: loop over multipath addrs on connect

[Weston Andros Adamson <dros@netapp.com>]

Don't just use the first addr in the multipath list - instead, loop
over addresses when calling nfs4_set_ds_client() (which calls connect)
until it is successful.

Although this is not real multipath support, it's a quick fix to handle when
an MDS sends a list of addresses for a DS and some of the addr families are
unsupported or misconfigured (like no routable ipv6 addr assigned).
This will attempt all paths to the DS before giving up, instead of immediately
falling back to the MDS.

As before, an error encountered after a successful connect() will cause all
i/o to fall back to the MDS.
