[Pacemaker] resources not migrating when some are not runnable on one node, maybe because of groups or master/slave clones?

We're reporting pacemaker issues to bugs.clusterlabs.org now.

I took a look at the cib in case2 and saw this in the status for storage02.

      <transient_attributes id="storage02">
        <instance_attributes id="status-storage02">
          <nvpair id="status-storage02-probe_complete" name="probe_complete" value="true"/>
          <nvpair id="status-storage02-master-drbd_nfsexports.1" name="master-drbd_nfsexports:1" value="10"/>
        </instance_attributes>
      </transient_attributes>

storage02 will not give up the drbd master since it has a higher score that storage01.  This coupled with the colocation rule between test and the drbd master, and the location rule to never run "test" on storage02 cause the "test" resource to never run.... "test" has to run with the drbd master, and the drbd master is stuck because of the transient attributes on a node "test" can't run on, so "test" can't start.

I don't understand why the transient attribute is there, or where it came from yet.
