[LTP] [PATCH] rpc_lib.sh: fix portmapper detection in case of socket activation

[Nikita Yushchenko via ltp <ltp@lists.linux.it>]

On systemd-based linux hosts, rpcbind service is typically started via
socket activation, when the first client connects. If no client has
connected before LTP rpc test starts, rpcbind process will not be
running at the time of check_portmap_rpcbind() execution, causing
check_portmap_rpcbind() to report TCONF error.

Fix that by adding a quiet invocation of 'rpcinfo' before checking for
rpcbind.

For portmap, similar step is likely not needed, because portmap is used
only on old systemd and those don't use systemd.
