Adrian Chiris fd8fdc9345 SR-IOV Live migration indirect port support
This patch, builds on previous patches and enables
Live migration with SR-IOV indirect ports.

Prior to this change migration would have either:
  - Failed with instance running on the source node.
  - Failed with two VMs booted on both source and destination
    nodes, VM state is set to migrating, duplicate MACs on
    source and destination node and improper PCI resource claiming.
    This scenario is observed in the case of macvtap port type and
    neutron does not support multiple port binding API extension.
    With very little, non user friendly information in the log.

Conductor Changes:
- Allow live migration only with VIF related PCI devices to allow
  properly claiming PCI resources on the destination node.
  With this change live migration with generic flavor based
  PCI passthrough devices will not be supported due to libvirt and
  qemu constraint.

- Add a check to allow live migration with VIF related PCI allocation
  only when neutron supports multiple ports binding API extension
  and compute nodes are up to date.

- update the migrating VIF with the correct profile when binding the
  ports on the destination host, this will allow proper binding against
  the destination host and ensure VIF will be plugged correctly by Nova.

Compute Changes:
- Create VIFMigrateData for all VIFs in
  check_can_live_migrate_destination()

- For every VIF that contains a PCI device in its profile
  claim a PCI device on the destination node using the matching
  InstancePCIRequest of the instance being migrated.

- Update the relevant VIFMigrateData profile with the newly
  claimed PCI device.

- Free PCI devices on source and allocate on destination upon
  a successful migration or free claimed PCI devices on destination
  upon failure.

NeutronV2 Changes:
- Don't update binding profile with PCI devices if migration type is
  live-migration as the profile was already updated when an inactive
  port binding was created during bind_ports_to_host() call
  from conductor.

  Note: This builds on multiple ports binding API.

Live migration of an instance with PCI devices is now blocked
in the following scenarios:
1. Instance with non-network related PCI device.
2. Instance with network related PCI device and either:
a. Neutron does not support extended port binding API.
b. Source or destination compute node does not support
libvirt-sriov-live-migration.
Live migration will fail with a user friendly error.
.. note:: Previously, the operation would have failed with an obscure error.
Ending up with the instance still running on the source node or ending up
in an inoperable state.
