Joseph Fernandes 96af474045 tier/ctr: Solving DB Lock issue due to write contention from db connections
Problem: The DB on the brick is been accessed by CTR, for write and
tier migrator, for read and write. The write from tier migrator is reseting
the heat counters after a cycle. Since we are using sqlite, two connections
trying to write would cause a db lock contention. As a result CTR used to fail
to update the db.

Solution: Using the same db connection of CTR for reseting the heat counters.
1) Introducted a new IPC FOP for CTR
2) After the query do a ipc syncop to the underlying client xlator associated
   to the brick.
3) CTR in brick will catch the IPC FOP and cleat the heat counters.
