There is a known double free issue that affects the 'proto=' mount
option (we call kfree(string) twice). Please could you check that the
following patch fixes it for you?

Cheers

Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix a double free in nfs_parse_mount_options()

Due to an apparent typo, commit a67d18f89f5782806135aad4ee012ff78d45aae7
(NFS: load the rpc/rdma transport module automatically) lead to the
'proto=' mount option doing a double free, while Opt_mountproto leaks a
string.
