commit 5fb4042ce4eb4fd5e50e3fb0f78bbd20b4d46e78
Author: Jeff Layton <jlaton@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed May 7 10:37:40 2008 -0400

    The prev_bg_host stuff made sense when NFS didn't have its own mount
    handler. Now though, each mount.nfs invocation is really a one-shot
    affair, and this check no longer works. It also leaked memory. Remove
    it.
