Pengju Jiao 95292d10ef Add support for backup of volume boot nova instance
Currently, nova backup only support image type
instance. When using 'freezer-agent --action backup
--engine nova --nova-inst-id xxx --mode nova
--no-incremental true' to backup instance that boot
from volume or snapshot, it gives us the result of
successful backup. But when we restore and launch
the instance from the backup data, it will fail
with 'no boot device error' message. This patch
add support for backup of volume boot nova
instance and will fix the issue.

With the above issue, freezer can not support the backup and restore of
instance that boot from volume or snapshot correctly. With this fix, when
using backup, freezer will create an image from the volume, and then
store the image data to storage media. After this fix, users can backup
and restore the nova instance no matter what type of the instance is.
