[PATCH v2 6/8] NFSD: report listener creation failures through extack

[Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>]

nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() hands back the raw errno from
svc_xprt_create_from_sa() and sets no extack, so a failed LISTENER_SET
tells userland only "Connection refused". The usual cause is
svc_setup_socket() -> svc_register() failing because the local rpcbind is
not reachable, which is not guessable from the errno alone -- and since
"SUNRPC: keep the first error in svc_register()" that failure is fatal on
CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO=y too.

Name the transport and the error. The message tracks err, which keeps the
last failure, so a multi-listener request reports the entry whose errno is
returned.

The rejections in nfsd_nl_validate_listeners() other than -E2BIG are still
bare; those are left alone here.
