Ok, then all that needs to be done is revert this:

Without these lines, rpcbind will log:

And continue with /var/run/rpcbind.sock set up and ready to service
requests from applications.

We can add an extra message for verbosity:

I really don't have a strong opinion on what would be right here.  I have no
idea on how wide is the use of rpcbind w/o NFS.  Kostik, Rick and Dag-Erling,
may you together come to agreement on what is right here?
