+    mount: Report correct error in the fall_back cases.
+    
+    In mount auto negotiation, a v3 mount is tried
+    when the v4 fails with error that could mean
+    v4 is not supported.
+    
+    When the v3 mount fails, the original v4 failure
+    should be used to set the errno, not the v3 failure.
+    
+    Fixes:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1709961
+    Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com>
