Goutham Pacha Ravi 42b8b7fe60 NetApp ONTAP: Fix reporting of provisioned_capacity_gb
The ONTAP drivers in Cinder ("7mode" and "cmode") cannot
reliably and efficiently track provisioned_capacity_gb as expected
by the Cinder scheduler.

The driver authors originally assumed that provisioned_capacity_gb
is consumed space on the backend. This results in miscalculation of
over subscription in the Cinder scheduler.

The fix adopted here is to remove this wrong reporting and rely on
calculation of the provisioned_capacity_gb in the scheduler.

fixes:
- The ONTAP drivers ("7mode" and "cmode") have been fixed to not report
consumed space as "provisioned_capacity_gb". They instead rely on
the cinder scheduler's calculation of "provisioned_capacity_gb". This
fixes the oversubscription miscalculations with the ONTAP drivers. This
bugfix affects all three protocols supported by these drivers
(iSCSI/FC/NFS).
upgrade:
- If using the NetApp ONTAP drivers (7mode/cmode), the configuration value
for "max_over_subscription_ratio" may need to be increased to
avoid scheduling problems where storage pools that previously were
valid to schedule new volumes suddenly appear to be out of space
to the Cinder scheduler. See
documentation `here <https://docs.openstack
.org/cinder/latest/admin/blockstorage-over-subscription.html>`_.
