    glusterd, readdir-ahead: Fix backward incompatibility

    Issue:
    Any opion is spcified in two places: In the options[] of xlator
    itself and glusterd-volume-set.c. The default value of this option
    can be specified in both the places. If its specified only in xlator
    then the volfile generated will not have the option and default value,
    it will be assigned during graph initialization.
    With patch [1] the option rda-request-size was changed from INT to SIZET
    type, and default was changed from 131072 to 128KB, but was specified
    only in the readdir-ahead.c. Thus with this patch alone the volfile
    entry for readdir-ahead looks like:
    volume patchy-readdir-ahead
        type performance/readdir-ahead
        subvolumes patchy-read-ahead
    end-volume

    With patch [2], the default of option rda-request-size was specified
    in glusterd-volume-set.c as well(as it was necessary fr parallel readdir).
    With this patch the readdir entry in the volfile will look like:
    volume patchy-readdir-ahead
        type performance/readdir-ahead
        option rda-cache-limit 10MB
        option rda-request-size 128KB
        option parallel-readdir off
        subvolumes patchy-read-ahead
    end-volume


    Now consider the server has both these patches and client doesn't.
    Server will generate a volfile with entry:

    The old clients which thought the option rda-request-size is of type
    INT will now recieve the value 128KB which it willn't understand,
    and hence fail the mount.

    The issue is seen only with the combination of [1] and [2].

    Solution:
    Instead of specifying 128KB as default in glusterd we specify 131072
    so that the old clients will interpret as INT and new ones as 128KB
