This is implemented so that the issues like in the
following flow don't affect the behavior of operation.
```
GetObjectInfo()
.... --> Time window for mutation (no lock held)
.... --> Time window for mutation (no lock held)
GetObject()
```
This happens when two simultaneous uploads are made
to the same object the object has returned wrong
info to the client.
Another classic example is "CopyObject" API itself
which reads from a source object and copies to
destination object.

This is needed as explained by @krisis
Lets say we have following errors.
```
[]error{nil, errFileNotFound, errDiskAccessDenied, errDiskAccesDenied}
```
Since the last two errors are filtered, the maximum is nil,
depending on map order.
Let's say we get nil from reduceErr. Clearly at this point
we don't have quorum nodes agreeing about the data and since
GetObject only requires N/2 (Read quorum) and isDiskQuorum
would have returned true. This is problematic and can lead to
undersiable consequences.
Fixes#3298
Disks when are offline for a long period of time, we should
ignore the disk after trying Login upto 5 times.
This is to reduce the network chattiness, this also reduces
the overall time spent on `net.Dial`.
Fixes#3286
- abstract out instrumentation information.
- use separate lockInstance type that encapsulates the nsMutex, volume,
path and opsID as the frontend or top-level lock object.
- Instrumentation for locks.
- Detailed test coverage.
- Adding RPC control handler to fetch lock instrumentation.
- RPC control handlers suite tests with a test RPC server.
