Do we need this behind an option, if existing behavior causes split
brains? Or is the option being added for workloads that do not have
multiple clients or clients writing to non-overlapping regions (and thus
need not suffer a penalty in performance maybe? But they should not
anyway as a single client and AFR eager locks should ensure this is done
only once for the lifetime of the file being accesses, right?)

Basically I would like to keep options out it possible in backports, as
that changes the gluster op-version and involves other upgrade steps to
be sure users can use this option etc. Which means more reading and
execution of upgrade steps for our users. Hence the concern!
