It seems that the glusterfs-3.13 packages got built against
userspace-rcu-0.7 and not the newer 0.10 version. There seems to have
been some kind of build-override in the
storage7-gluster-common-candidate tag, removing the 0.7 version from
there made the 0.10 version available for glusterfs-3.13.

Next steps:
- rebuild glusterfs-3.13.2
- verify none of the other versions that require 0.7 have been broken

Note that it might have been possible that others can install
glusterfs-3.13.x when EPEL is enabled. Fedora EPEL provides a (possibly
and surely untested) compatible older version of userspace-rcu. Also,
userspace-rcu was only updated in CentOS-7 for ppc64le/aarch64 fixes,
these architectures are not available for CentOS-6.

Thanks,
Niels
