Description of problem:

This is how TA reads work as of patch https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/20994/2 :

If both data bricks are up, read subvol will be based on read_subvols. If only one data brick is up: - First qeury the data-brick that is up. If it blames the other brick, allow the reads. - If if doesn't, query the TA to obtain the source of truth.


However, we need to see if we can re-use AFR_TA_DOM_NOTIFY lock even for read-txns so that once ta_bad_child_index is stored in-memory, we can reuse that for subsequent reads until shd resets it after healing.

The rough changes  to read-txn if any 1 data brick is down would be (subject to discussion and acceptance):

0. If priv->bad_child_index is valid, goto 4
1. get afr xattrs of data=brick that is up.
2. If it contains pending xattrs, update priv->bad_child_index with that value
3. Otherwise:
{
      TA LOCK (AFR_TA_DOM_NOTIFY)
      TA LOCK (AFR_TA_DOM_MODIFY)
      get afr xattr from TA.
      update priv->bad_child_index if xattr present on TA
      TA UNLOCK (AFR_TA_DOM_MODIFY)
      If  priv->bad_child_index  is still AFR_CHILD_UNKNOWN
           {TA UNLOCK (AFR_TA_DOM_NOTIFY) }
      else retain AFR_TA_DOM_NOTIFY
}
4. Serve read depending on the data brick that is up is good or bad


While this is simple, some of the problems that need solving are
-what happens when multiple read requests come?
-what happens when reads/writes both come

We must ensure that from a given mount only one AFR_TA_DOM_NOTIFY lock is sent to TA irrespective of the no. of reads and writes.
