This happens automatically with later nfs-utils. A systemd generator is
created that read /etc/exports and creates RequiresMountsFor=
for anything exported and then read /etc/fstab looking for
nfs or nfs4 types. It creates a Before= entry in the same file.

The name is order-with-mounts.conf under  nfs-server.service.d
