daemon_init() calls closeall() which closes all fd's >= 4.  This causes
rpc.gssd to fail when it's configured to use the gssproxy interposer
plugin (via "use-gss-proxy=1" in nfs.conf or GSS_USE_PROXY="yes" in the
environment) *and* libtirpc debugging is enabled (i.e. at least one
"-r" on the command line):

1. During startup if rpc debugging is enabled then libtirpc_set_debug()
   is called, which calls openlog() which consumes fd 3.
2. If the gssproxy interposer plugin is enabled then when
   gssd_check_mechs() is called, a socket is created (fd 4) and
   connected to /var/lib/gssproxy/default.sock.  The fd is stored
   internally in a struct gpm_ctx.
3. daemon_init() runs and closes all fd's >= 4.
4. event_init() runs which calls epoll_create() which returns an epoll
   fd of 4.
5. Later when handling an upcall, gssd calls gssd_acquire_krb5_cred()
   which winds up closing the gpm_ctx->fd which was 4.
6. event_dispatch() calls epoll_wait() with epfd=4, and -EBADF is
   returned.  gssd logs the message ""ERROR: event_dispatch() returned!"
   and exits.

The solution is to call daemon_init() earlier.

Note this is v1 patch.  I forgot to check my git config before creating
the patch :)
