svc_register() registers each [program, version] in turn. On failure the
caller tears the listener down -- svc_setup_socket() frees the svc_sock and
svc_create_socket() releases the socket -- but the entries that were already
set stay in rpcbind, now pointing at a closed port. XPT_RPCB_UNREG is set
later, in svc_udp_init()/svc_tcp_init(), so svc_delete_xprt() never runs for
this transport and nothing clears them.

Unwind on failure, and stop the walk there rather than registering the
programs after it. rpcbind matches RPCBPROC_UNSET on
[program, version, netid] and ignores the address, so the unwind clears the
netid, not just the port -- the same granularity svc_delete_xprt() already
unregisters at.

For an IPv4 listener, the port-zero callback falls back through
__svc_rpcb_register4() to rpcb_register(). PMAPPROC_UNSET ignores
its protocol argument, so unwinding a partially successful TCP
registration also removes the mappings for existing listeners on
other transports, I would think.

It might be that the best the kernel can do here is tear everything
down if one registration fails.
