Description of problem:
=======================
While trying to reproduce https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1529072 on a build older than the fix, it is found that if parallel-readdir is enabled, the readdir-optimize option even when it is set to on it is behaving as off.

3.12.2-9.el7rhgs.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
===================
There are no specific steps to reproduce this issue. It can be reproduced by attaching gdb or by looking at tcpdump wireshark.

Actual results:

Expected results:
=================
When parallel-readdir is enabled, the readdir-optimize option when set to on should continue as on.

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/20026 committed in master by "Raghavendra G" <rgowdapp> with a commit message- readdir-ahead: Fix an issue with parallel-readdir and readdir-optimize

Issue: When parallel-readdir is enabled, readdir-optimize automatically
stops working because of a bug in rda_opendir.

RCA: In rda_opendir, the xattrs that indicate readdir-optimize or not
is sent in xdata. This xdata is sent to all the readdirp prefetch
calls. A dict_ref is taken on xdata and kept in rda_opendir to be
used by rda_fill_fd, but dht_opendir deletes some elements in xdata
after calling rda_opendir. Hence dict_ref is not a right choice here,
dict_copy needs to used.
