Balazs Gibizer 2794748d9c Enhance service restart in functional env
Bugfix Icaf1bae8cb040b939f916a19ce026031ddb84af7 showed that restarting
a compute service in the functional env is unrealistic causing faults
to slip through. During that bug fix only the minimal change was done
in the functional env regarding compute service restart to reproduce
the reported fault. However the restart of the compute service could
be made even more realistic.

This patch simulates a compute service restart in the functional env
by stopping the original compute service and starting a totally new
compute service for the same host and node. This way we can make sure
that we get a brand new ComputeManager in the new service and no
state can leak between the old and the new service.

This change revealed another shortcoming of the functional env.
In the real world the nova-compute service could be restarted without
loosing any running servers on the compute host. But with the naive
implementation of this change the compute service is re-created. This
means that a new ComputeManager is instantiated that loads a new
FakeDriver instance as well. That new FakeDriver instance then reports
an empty hypervisor. This behavior is not totally unrealistic as it
simulates such a compute host restart that cleans the hypervisor state
as well (e.g. compute host redeployment). However this type of restart
shows another bug in the code path that destroys and deallocates
evacuated instance from the source host. Therefore this patch
implements the compute service restart in a way that simulates only a
service restart and not a full compute restart. A subsequent patch will
add a test that uses the clean hypervisor case to reproduces the
revealed bug.
