Description of problem:
=======================
automatic splitbrain resolution with size as policy can lead to inconsistency when there are only conservative merges and the parent directory is in metadata splitbrain

we end up in a situation where in a 2x2 volume, each dht subvol has a different metadata information when compared with other dht-subvol for a directory.


node1 post auto split brain resolution with size policy:
if you notice dirty directory has different permissions for different subvols

How reproducible:
=====
always

Steps to Reproduce:
=================\
1.create a 2x2 volume spanning on two nodes(b1 on n1 b2 on n2, b3 on n1 , b4 on n2; b1-b2 replica pairs   b3-b4 replica pairs)
2.mount on clients as below
c1 sees on n1
c2 only sees n2
c3 sees n1 and n2
3.now set fav child policy to size
4. create dir say dir1 from c3
5. disable self heal deamon
6. now under dir1 create files f{1..10} from c2 and x{1..10} from c1==>this would mean that there is a conservative merge required on dir1
7. do a chmod of dir1 to say 0000 from c1
8. do a chmod of dir1 to say 0777 from c2
9. check heal info , must show dir1 as in splitbrain
10. now enable heal and trigger heal

Actual results:
===============
dir1 on b1 on n1 will have different permissions and dir1 on b3 on n1 has different permission(ie different dht subvols have different permission)
similarly on b2 and b4 on n2
Expected results:
