All the bricks were online for master volume and even all bricks for slave volume were online. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mainline

How reproducible:
Rarely

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Master and Slave Cluster
2. Create 1x2 volume on master and slave cluster
3. Create geo-rep session between master and slave volume
4. Start the geo-rep session
5. Mount the volume over Fuse
6. Check the geo-rep status and log.

Actual results:
Getting changelog exception and nodes goes faulty

Expected results:
Geo-replica session should be in Active/Passive state and workers should not get exception

    features/changelog: Fix htime xattr during brick crash
    
    The htime file contains the path of all the changelogs
    that is rolloved over till now. It also maintains xattr
    which tracks the latest changelog file rolloved over
    and the number of changelogs. The path and and xattr
    update happens in two different system calls. If the
    brick is crashed between them, the xattr value becomes
    stale and can lead to the failure of gf_history_changelog.
    To identify this, the total number of changelogs is being
    calculated based on htime file size and the record
    length. The above value is used in case of mismatch.
