Sorry, just describing the steps to reproduce it.

The problem is when doing some tests with multiple mds, there are many
mds forwarding requests between them
and then the client request is resent. So I analyze how the client
chooses the target mds to send the request.

If the request is a modification operation and the mode is set to USE_AUTH_MDS.
Auth mds should be selected to handle the request, and if auth mds for
frag is already set, it can be returned directly without the logic
behind it.
But the current logic doesn't return directly because the condition
'mode == USE_AUTH_MDS',
and sometimes frag's mds is not equal to cap's session mds, which then
causes the request to be resent.


I'll resubmit PR.

Thanks.
