From: Andy Chittenden on
I don't know whether this patch is the correct fix or not but it enables the
NFS client to recover.

Kernel version: 2.6.34.1 and 2.6.32.

Fixes <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16494>. It clears down
any previous shutdown attempts so that reconnects on a socket that's been
shutdown leave the socket in a usable state (otherwise tcp_sendmsg() returns
-EPIPE).
