[LU-4140] Volatile files have CREATE changelog record but nothing to tell it is removed.

Description

When volatile files are created, a CREATE changelog record is emitted. But no record says that file was also immediately unlinked.

Either we need a UNLINK record for that FID, or a special flag in CLOSE record.

By the way, I do not think lustre_rsync is handling volatile files, but more especially it should handled LAYOUT records rather than volatile files.
