Re: cap mask differences for `Client::stat` vs `Client::fstat`

I have a patch for this (below), but I see something that doesn't seem
quite right.

Here is a simple fs client. When its running by itself the fstat/sec
rate is high. When a second client copy of this client starts, the
first client slows down as expected, but the new client blocks. I
would expect both clients to make progress, but until the first client
exits, the second client is blocked.

fd = cephfs.open('file-1', 'w', 0755)
count = 0
start = time.time()
while True:
    stat = cephfs.fstat(fd)
    count += 1
    if time.time() > (start + 1):
        print(count)
        count = 0
        start = time.time()
