NFS's rpc-statd seems started multiple times during the boot systemd

I use /etc/fstab to mount the NFS partitions, systemd automatically generated mount unit for them.

home:/nfs/abs             /abs                  nfs vers=3,x-systemd.automount
home:/nfs/abs/packages    /var/cache/pacman/pkg nfs vers=3,x-systemd.automount
home:/nfs/home            /host/home            nfs vers=3,x-systemd.automount
home:/nfs/home/1Store     /host/home/1Store     nfs vers=3,x-systemd.automount
home:/nfs/home/2Shelf     /host/home/2Shelf     nfs vers=3,x-systemd.automount
home:/nfs/home/Workspace  /host/home/Workspace  nfs vers=3,x-systemd.automount

It seems rpc-statd process has been started multiple times.

But

systemctl status rpc-statd.service

shows that only process 178 is the one started by systemd, so, how the other processes 184, 185, 186, 187 were started, and especially, they often fails with this error

failed to create RPC listeners, exiting
