Merge lp:~sergiodj/britney/hints-ubuntu-xenial into lp:~ubuntu-sru/britney/hints-ubuntu-xenial

[Sergio Durigan Junior]

nfs-utils/all/s390x has never passed on xenial (the passes we see on the autopkgtest page are fake ones; the tests was not being executed at the time), and is now blocking rpcbind from migrating.

I've made an extensive investigation and posted my findings here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1705483/comments/1

In a nutshell, the problem happens because of the {lease,grace}-time values that nfsd is using. I have a patch to the testcase that makes it pass, but I don't think a SRU is justified in this case, so I'm proposing we force-badtest it instead.
