glusterd: Improve error logging when a brick from an old volume gets re-used
The error message when creating a volume that contains a brick with
certain xatts set on a parent directory is unclear.
Users do not understand '... or a prefix of it is already part of
a volume'. Most users check the final directory that is used for
a brick, but not its parents.
It would be helpful to present the user with the actual directory that
is preventing the volume to use the brick.
