Matt Riedemann ad20a87028 Always deallocate networking before reschedule if using Neutron
When a server build fails on a selected compute host, the compute
service will cast to conductor which calls the scheduler to select
another host to attempt the build if retries are not exhausted.

With commit 08d24b733e, if retries
are exhausted or the scheduler raises NoValidHost, conductor will
deallocate networking for the instance. In the case of neutron, this
means unbinding any ports that the user provided with the server
create request and deleting any ports that nova-compute created during
the allocate_for_instance() operation during server build.

When an instance is deleted, it's networking is deallocated in the same
way - unbind pre-existing ports, delete ports that nova created.

The problem is when rescheduling from a failed host, if we successfully
reschedule and build on a secondary host, any ports created from the
original host are not cleaned up until the instance is deleted. For
Ironic or SR-IOV ports, those are always deallocated.

The ComputeDriver.deallocate_networks_on_reschedule() method defaults
to False just so that the Ironic driver could override it, but really
we should always cleanup neutron ports before rescheduling.

Looking over bug report history, there are some mentions of different
networking backends handling reschedules with multiple ports differently,
in that sometimes it works and sometimes it fails. Regardless of the
networking backend, however, we are at worst taking up port quota for
the tenant for ports that will not be bound to whatever host the instance
ends up on.

There could also be legacy reasons for this behavior with nova-network,
so that is side-stepped here by just restricting this check to whether
or not neutron is being used. When we eventually remove nova-network we
can then also remove the deallocate_networks_on_reschedule() method and
SR-IOV check.

NOTE(mriedem): There are a couple of changes to the unit test for code
that didn't exist in Pike, due to the change for alternate hosts
Iae904afb6cb4fcea8bb27741d774ffbe986a5fb4 and the change to pass the
request spec to conductor Ie5233bd481013413f12e55201588d37a9688ae78.

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:
