Whether or not user space sets the defaults is irrelevant. My point
is the broken commit doesn't change the behavior of copying these
values unconditionally into *data. It does break the transport
protocol setting accidentally.

Fine, then. You should drop 8b59ea3c (as that is only in your devel
branch and linux-next, and not upstream yet; and it appears to be
mostly based on false assumptions) and merge it with what you have
below. That would be more bisectable, easier to document, and easier
to review and demonstrate its correctness.
Also consider breaking this into smaller changes (for similar
reasons). Cleaning up nfs_init_timeout_values() and adding the macro
constants could be a separate patch, for example.
A handful of comments below.

Nit: "which was _where_ they were always"

One of the original bugs addressed by 8b59ea3c was that the text-based
mount transport protocol was not being set properly. You are cleaning
that up here as well with the addition of
nfs_set_mount_transport_protocol().

Yes, it's a software bug. But do you really need to throw an Oops
here? Logging a warning seems perfectly adequate.

Nit: No "break;" here is asking for trouble down the road when we add
more cases to this switch statement.

As an aside, these macro values were copied from the default settings
in the kernel's NFS mount option parser; so the values were always
incorrect for text-based mounts even before 8b59ea3c.
Before I rewrote the nfs(5) man page recently, incidentally, it did
claim that the retransmit timeout for UDP was 7 tenths of a second,
and that the default retrans setting was 5.
