It seems the thing arise because a threads quits and decide to cleanup
stuff. Do we have an idea what this thread is? For the test to pass we
need to keep the thread alive. 

Of course that works around a real problem. Why don't we immediatly
clear pending xattr when replica.split-brain-choice is set? That would
clear the split brain state.
