cluster/dht: Do layout self healing of directory for nameless lookup
Problem: Currently in the  nameless lookup code path, if at the
         end of the lookup, even if it detects that layout
         anamolies are there, layout healing will not be done as
         there is no code to heal it.
         So there can be race between mkdir and lookup.
         Assume mkdir is going on from some other mount point,
         Say, M1. Directories are created on some nodes but layout
         is not set yet.
         Now from M2, nameless lookup goes, lookup will be success
         full as the directory is present on some of the nodes, but
         it won't heal layout. Now if create goes after lookup fop,
         because layout is absent, file creation will fail.
Fix:     Included the code of layout self-heal in the nameless
         lookup path. At the end of lookup, layout will be computed
         as it would have been in the named lookup, but it will be
         set to those node only, where directory is present.
         So after that if create fop goes, the probabiliy to get the
         subvolume with proper hash-range is high now, so reduces
         the race window.
Other:  Whenever a directory is created, we have to choose a brick
        from which we start allocating layout in a circular fashion.
        To calculate this starting brick, I have changed the candidate
        from name of the directory to gfid of the directory
        But to compute where a given file belongs, we will still
        use the name of the file. Hash computed from the name of the
        file should belong to any one of the directory-hash-range
        Calculation of hash for a file is acting as a consumer and the
        setting of directory layout based on gfid is acting as a producer,
        which are independent from each other.
