Description of problem:
=======================
The ACTIVE workers (2/3) of a geo-replication session remain in a FAULTY state when a single directory has been created in the master as shown:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
==============================================================
glusterfs-geo-replication-3.12.2-13.el7rhgs.x86_64

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


Steps to Reproduce:
===================
1.Create and start a geo-replication session
2.Mount the master and slave volume
3.Create a single directory on the master

Actual results:
===============
2/3 ACTIVE workers went to FAULTY and did not come back to ACTIVE


Expected results:
================
None of the workers should go to FAULTY
