+    mount.nfs: Fix auto protocol negotiation
+    
+    Commit 71b807e1 introduce a regression that
+    caused v3 not to be tried when v4 was not
+    supported by the server during auto negation.
+    
+    A check of the type in nfs_nfs_version() was
+    reverted back to only check for the "nfs4"
+    string not the "nfs" string which fixed the
+    problem.
+
