    nfs: add export operations
    
    This support for opening files on NFS by file handle, both through the
    open_by_handle syscall, and for re-exporting NFS (for example using a
    different version).  The support is very basic for now, as each open by
    handle will have to do an NFSv4 open operation on the wire.  In the
    future this will hopefully be mitigated by an open file cache, as well
    as various optimizations in NFS for this specific case.

Waoh, I didn't know that.  But it explains your case well.
NFS client can export nfs-mount on himself, but this re-exporting is
supported by nfs4 only.
