In our cloud environments, we're observing a weird issue where this function is returning `None` for systems that are already running and exist. Due to the fact that it returns `None` right away, we don't actually get a reason as to why the request failed and it is returning a 404. This should not clobber up the logs much more, due to the fact that if you are sending a request to the metadata service, you're supposed to already exist, so not being able to find the metadata for an instance seems like a broken case. This patch should help operators at least uncover why exactly their instances are failing to get the metadata to further troubleshoot. Change-Id: Iadca69fee24ec89408f9fca68d1da46c918577bc

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:
