Whoops, clarification: the node may have restarted so quickly that
corosync didn't notice it left, so the DC would never have gotten the
"peer lost" message that triggers wiping its transient attributes.

I suspect the crmd wipes only the CIB in this case because we assumed
attrd would be empty at this point -- missing exactly this case where a
value was set between start-up and first join.
