Ravishankar N e100467956 arbiter: write performance improvement
Problem: The throughput for a 'dd' workload was much less for arbiter
configuration when compared to normal replica-3 volume. There were 2
issues:

i)arbiter_writev was using the request dict as response dict while
unwinding, leading to incorect GLUSTERFS_WRITE_IS_APPEND and
GLUSTERFS_OPEN_FD_COUNT values (=4), leading to immediate post-ops
because is_afr_delayed_changelog_post_op_needed() failed due to
afr_are_multiple_fds_opened() check.

ii) The arbiter code in afr was setting local->transaction.{start and len} =0
to take full file locks. What this meant was even for simultaenous but
non-overlapping writevs, afr_transaction_eager_lock_init() was not
happening because afr_locals_overlap() always stays true. Consequently
is_afr_delayed_changelog_post_op_needed() failed due to
local->delayed_post_op not being set.

Fix:
i) Send appropriate response dict values in arbiter_writev.
ii) Modify flock params instead of local->transaction.{start and len} to
take full file locks in the transaction.

Also changed _fill_writev_xdata() in posix to fill rsp_xdata for
whatever key is requested for.
