Proposed patch.

If a machine is both a NFS server and a client with nfs shares mounted. The command
service netfs stop
will unmount these nfs shares correctly. 

However it also unmounts /proc/fs/nfsd which is required by the nfs server on the machine. This prevents other clients from mounting nfs shares from this server.

Reproducer:

1) create nfs share and start nfs service.
2) mount nfs share
3) service netfs stop
This will unmount the nfs service. It also unmounts /proc/fs/nfsd which in turn prevents others from mounting from the servers nfs servers.
