Susant Palai 545a7ce676 cluster/dht: avoid overwriting client writes during migration
For more details on this issue see
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/308

Solution:
This is a restrictive solution where a file will not be migrated
if a client writes to it during the migration. This does not
check if the writes from the rebalance and the client actually
do overlap.

If dht_writev_cbk finds that the file is being migrated (PHASE1)
it will set an xattr on the destination file indicating the file
was updated by a non-rebalance client.
Rebalance checks if any other client has written to the dst file
and aborts the file migration if it finds the xattr.
