Problem: afr requests all xattrs in lookup via the list-xattr key. If bitrot is enabled and later disabled, or if the bitrot xattrs were present due to an older version of bitrot which used to create the xattrs without enabling the feature, the xattrs (trusted.bit-rot.version in particular) was not getting filtered and ended up reaching the client stack. AFR, on noticing different values of the xattr across bricks of the replica, started triggering spurious metadata heals. Fix: Filter all internal xattrs in bitrot xlator before unwinding lookup.
