> Tested:
>  - Created a NFS share on host "B"
>  - On host "A" a NFS storage was added (using B's share) with --options vers=3
>  - Ran `ss -tulpn4 |grep mountd` on host B to see ports used by showmounts
>  - The ports listed were blocked on host "A", so that showmount fails:
>
>    /sbin/showmount --no-headers --exports $B
>    rpc mount export: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Operation not permitted
>
>  - Ran `pvesm status` on A and checked that the NFS storage is available
>  - Created a VM on A with a disk image in the the NFS storage
>
> The later two operations would have failed without the changes here.

> Differences from v1:
>  - the name of the helper function was fixed
