Not *need*, but rather, ideally, should.  The reason is that when the
MDS comes up, the opportunity for clients to get object pointers exists.
It's better that the OSTs are up to serve the expected object requests
when that happens.

Conversely, when shutting down, ideally you shut down the MDS first so
that the ability for clients to get object pointers goes away before the
OSTs serving them go away.
