Lee Yarwood 304d3f62a4 compute: Take an instance.uuid lock when rebooting
Previously simultaneous requests to reboot and delete an instance could
race as only the latter took a lock against the uuid of the instance.

With the Libvirt driver this race could potentially result in attempts
being made to reconnect previously disconnected volumes on the host.
Depending on the volume backend being used this could then result in
stale block devices point to unmapped volumes being left on the host
that in turn could cause failures later on when connecting newly mapped
volumes.

This change avoids this race by ensuring any request to reboot an
instance takes an instance.uuid lock within the compute manager,
serialising requests to reboot and then delete the instance.

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
