Kernel major version does not always provide 100% certainty about
presence or absence of a feature, for example:
 - some distros backport feature from mainstream kernel to older kernels
 - if NFS server is run inside a system container the reported kernel
   version inside the container may be faked

So let's determine the feature presence by checking
'/proc/fs/nfsd/clients/' directory presence instead of checking the
kernel version.
