rpc_create_client was modified recently to do its own (synchronous) NULL ping
of the server.  We'd rather do that on our own, asynchronously, so that we
don't have to block the nfsd thread doing the probe, and so that setclientid
handling (hence, client mounts) can proceed normally whether the callback is
succesful or not.  (We can still function fine without the callback
channel--we just won't be able to give out delegations till it's verified to
work.)

 This saves us a couple of lines of cleanup code for each call.

rpc_create_clnt and friends return errors, not NULL, on failure.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
