If this is the case on all bricks, then it might be okay to remove this 
stale symlink. But if tpm_nvwrite directory is present on other bricks, 
then it is better to check what the path to it is [1] and if its 
trusted.gfid xattr is indeed aaaadd69-7b3d-45e9-bd0f-8a8bbaa189a5 and 
why its missing on this brick alone (maybe pending self heal?)
