Summary

PR#254282 reports a problem where nullfs mounts cannot be
exported via mountd for FreeBSD 13.0.

The problem seems to be that, to do the nullfs mounts in
/etc/fstab, they require the "late" mount option, so that the
underlying filesystem is mounted (ZFS for the PR).

Adding "mountlate" to the REQUIRE list in /etc/rc.d/mountd
fixes the problem, but that results in a dependency cycle
because /etc/rc.d/lockd specifies:

  1. REQUIRE: nfsd
  2. BEFORE: DAEMON

--> which forces mountd to preceed DAEMON.

I think I know why lockd specifies:

BEFORE: DAEMON

--> I suspect that some daemon requires file locking and that

requires lockd to be running, for an NFS mounted root fs.

but I do not see any reason that lockd/statd must start after nfsd.
(This # REQUIRE has been in the scripts since they were imported
from NetBSD long long ago.)

This patch makes mountd start after mountlate, without any dependency
cycle.

Test Plan

Seems to work fine for me for both NFS client and server setups.
I also tested a kernel with no NFS options, to make sure that the
modules are loaded soon enough.
