Fixes `bug 1581230`_ by removing the internal ``check_attach`` call from
the Nova code as it can cause race conditions and the checks are handled by
``reserve_volume`` in Cinder. ``reserve_volume`` is called in every volume
attach scenario to provide the necessary checks and volume state validation
on the Cinder side.

By removing the ``check_attach`` internal call from Nova, small behavioral
changes were introduced.
``reserve_volume`` call was added to the boot from volume scenario. In case
a failure occurs while building the instance, the instance goes into ERROR
state while the volume stays in ``attaching`` state. The volume state will
be set back to ``available`` when the instance gets deleted.
Additional availability zone check is added to the volume attach flow,
which results in an availability zone check when an instance gets
unshelved. In case the deployment is not sensitive to availability zones
and not using the AvailabilityZoneFilter scheduler filter the current
default settings (cross_az_attach=True) are allowing to perform unshelve
the same way as before this change without additional configuration.
