cluster/afr: Enforce order in pre/post op
The xattrop order in pre/post op on all the subvols
is client-0, client-1... client-n where n is (replica-count - 1).
This order can lead to invalid split-brains if the brick
dies in the middle of xattrops.
Example: transaction completed pre-op, so on all the subvolumes
xattrs have '1' changelog. Now post-op is sent to both the subvols.
On subvol-0 change-log of client-0 is decremented to 0, before
decrementing change-log of client-1 to 0 the brick dies.
This change-log status on subvol-0 gives the meaning that a
change is done on subvol-0 successfully but on subvol-1 it failed.
Which is not what happened.
Changes done when the subvol-0 was down will lead to pending
change-log on subvol-1 for subvol-0. Which is correct.
When the subvol-0 is brought back up, the change-log will be in
split-brain state even when it is not a legitimate split-brain.
If the brick dies in the middle of xattrops it should remain fool.
Pre-op should perform xattrop of the local change-log first and
post-op should perform xattrop of the local change-log last.
In case of optimistic changelogs txn_changelog should be done
last on local if it succeeds, first if it fails.
