v2:
1) rpc_clnt_set_nodename() prototype updated.
2) fixed errors in comment.

When child reaper exits, it can destroy mount namespace it belongs to, and if
there are NFS mounts inside, then it will try to umount them. But in this
point current->nsproxy is set to NULL and all namespaces will be destroyed one
by one. I.e. we can't dereference current->nsproxy to obtain uts namespace.
