The nodes are VMs, so I freeze the dir node from the QEMU monitor. It
stays a member but never answers the lookup, and after the cancel I
evict it through configfs. That is what happens on our HA systems when
the peer reboots without leaving the lockspace and a pending request
gets cancelled before the peer is evicted.
