-Fall back from v4 to v3 on EPERM.
-
-When the mount version isn't specified, mount.nfs tries v4 and 
-falls back to v3 if it gets ENOENT.
-Linux kernels prior to 2.6.25 will return EPERM if there is no
-v4 export, so fall back in that case too.
-
-This fixes bnc#557138 where a 2.6.31 or later kernel client gets
-an error when mounting from a 2.6.24 or earlier server.
