Description of problem:
------------------------

After choosing a particular replica as `replica.split-brain-choice', `ls' or `stat' on a file/directory in metadata split-brain does not report correct results always.

For e.g., consider the case of mismatching permissions on both replicas. After choosing one of the replicas (say, client-0) as the choice to examine the file, `ls -l' gives the appropriate permissions. On choosing the other replica, (say client-1), `ls -l' does not show the permissions from client-1, instead shows the same permissions as those on client-0.

This behavior, however, is not seen in case of mismatching xattrs on both replicas. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------
glusterfs-3.7.1-6.el7rhgs.x86_64

How reproducible:
-----------------
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
--------------------
1. Create a 1x2 volume, start it and fuse mount it.
2. Create a file or directory on the mount point.
3. Kill one replica and change the permissions of the file from the mount point.
4. Bring back the killed brick and kill the other replica.
5. Change permissions of the file from the mount point again.
6. Bring back killed brick and examine the permissions of the file using `ls -l' command after choosing a replica as the replica.split-brain-choice on the mount point -

# setfattr -n replica.split-brain-choice -v "new-client-1" testfile

Actual results:
----------------

Incorrect permissions are shown after selecting a replica as replica.split-brain-choice.

Expected results:
------------------
Correct permissions need to be shown on selecting a particular replica as replica.split-brain-choice.
