Description of problem:
=======================
On a cifs mount having a dataset of empty directories+ directories with files, started removing few bricks. When issued remove-brick status command, rebalance estimate time shows negative values. 

I have issued status for almost 21 times during remove-brick rebalance and every time it showed negative values. At the 22nd attempt, the rebalance estimate time showed positive values (at the point, rebalance ran for almost 24 mins)

Estimated time left for rebalance to complete : 2023406814:-21:-32


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.8.4-25.el7rhgs.x86_64

How reproducible:
=================
1/1

Steps to Reproduce:
===================
1) Create a distributed-replicate volume and start it.
2) cifs mount the volume on a client.
3) Create a data set of empty directories+ directories with files.
4) Remove few bricks.
5) Keep running remove-brick status command and check "Estimated time left for rebalance to complete " output.

Actual results:
===============
Rebalance estimate time sometimes shows negative values.

Expected results:
=================
Rebalance estimate time should not show negative values.


From distrep-rebalance.log in sosreport-sysreg-prod.negativevalues-20170523062944:  


[2017-05-23 05:54:01.319951] I [dht-rebalance.c:4425:gf_defrag_status_get] 0-glusterfs: TIME: num_files_lookedup=0,elapsed time = 51.000000,rate_lookedup=0.000000
[2017-05-23 05:54:01.320001] I [dht-rebalance.c:4428:gf_defrag_status_get] 0-glusterfs: TIME: Estimated total time to complete = 0 seconds
[2017-05-23 05:54:01.320012] I [dht-rebalance.c:4431:gf_defrag_status_get] 0-glusterfs: TIME: Seconds left = 18446744073709551565 seconds


This skews the results causing the weird result seen.

Easily reproducible by running rebalance on a volume with only dirs (no files).

    cluster/dht: Additional checks for rebalance estimates
    
    The rebalance estimates calculation was not handling
    calculations correctly when no files had been processed,
    i.e., when rate_lookedup was 0.
    
    Now, the estimated time is set to 0 in such scenarios as
    there is no way for rebalance to figure out how long the
    process will take to complete without knowing the rate at
    which the files are being processed.
