The real bug is in the calling application, which calls svc_getreq on
a file descriptor that it did not register.  We're patching this in
sunrpc so that the check in svc_getreq_common below that was supposed
to catch such conditions actually works.

  xprt = xports[fd];
  /* Do we control fd? */
  if (xprt == NULL)
     return;
