glusterd: Improve error logging when a brick from an old volume gets re-used
The error message when creating a volume that contains a brick with certain xatts set on a parent directory is unclear. Users do not understand '... or a prefix of it is already part of a volume'. Most users check the final directory that is used for a brick, but not its parents. It would be helpful to present the user with the actual directory that is preventing the volume to use the brick.
