Protocol negotiation in mount.nfs does not correctly negotiate with a server which only support NFSv3 and UDP. When mount.nfs attempts an NFSv4 mount and fails with ECONNREFUSED it does not fall back to NFSv3, as this is not recognised as a "does not support NFSv4" error. However ECONNREFUSED is a clear indication that the server doesn't support TCP, and ipso facto does not support NFSv4. So ECONNREFUSED should trigger a fallback from v4 to v2/3. Once we allow that error, NFSv3 is attempted and mount.nfs talks to rpcbind and discovers that UDP should be used for v3 and the mount succeeds.
