afr: don't treat all cases all bricks being blamed as split-brain

Problem:
We currently don't have a roll-back/undoing of post-ops if quorum is not
met. Though the FOP is still unwound with failure, the xattrs remain on
the disk.  Due to these partial post-ops and partial heals (healing only when
2 bricks are up), we can end up in split-brain purely from the afr
xattrs point of view i.e each brick is blamed by atleast one of the
others. These scenarios are hit when there is frequent
connect/disconnect of the client/shd to the bricks while I/O or heal
are in progress.

Fix:
Instead of undoing the post-op, pick a source based on the xattr values.
If 2 bricks blame one, the blamed one must be treated as sink.
If there is no majority, all are sources. Once we pick a source,
self-heal will then do the heal instead of erroring out due to
split-brain.
