afr: allow I/O when favorite-child-policy is enabled

Problem:
Currently, I/O on a split-brained file fails even when the
favorite-child-policy is set until the self-heal is complete.

Fix:
If a valid 'source' is found using the set favorite-child-policy, inspect
and reset the afr pending xattrs on the 'sinks' (inside appropriate locks),
refresh the inode and then proceed with the read or write transaction.

The resetting itself happens in the self-heal code and hence can also
happen in the client side background-heal or by the shd's index-heal in
addition to the txn code path explained above. When it happens in via
heal, we also add checks in undo-pending to not reset the sink xattrs
again.
