This means that the glusterd daemon running on that node is holding the
lock. Looking at the log, I believe you are running 3.5 version bits or
less as 3.6 and onwards the locking mechanism has been enhanced on per
volume basis instead of per node basis.

I suggest you should check the glusterd log file at node
078015de-2186-4bd7-a4d1-017e39c16dd3, if you don't find the reason of
why glusterd did not release the lock work around will be to restart
glusterd there.
