I need to quit replying to myself, but my test was flawed.  Modern
clients don't go through NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME, so my added line...

...was not getting reached.  If I instead tweak NBD_OPT_GO:

Then this reports 0x48f, proving that my initial reaction was correct:
client->exp is a shared resource across multiple connections, but
advertising DF must be a per-connection decision.

I see nothing to change for v2, so I'm inclined to take this patch as is.
