I'm fine with this patch if you want to propose it formally.

That was my thinking too. nfs-utils should handle the lack of this file
gracefully, and nothing else should really care. The LTP test is just
accessing all of the files under /proc so if that file goes missing, it
shouldn't care either.

We can update nfs-utils to silence the log message in later versions
too. In fact, it's probably a good time to think about removing the code
that accesses that file, since it's only used by nfsdcld to convert
"legacy" setups.
