Title:
  [xen] create/update metadata during boot can put instance into ERROR

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If an update for instance metadata is attempted during the boot
  process, before "VM.get_by_name_label" will return a vm_ref, then the
  metadata update will fail in the xenapi driver and the exception will
  pass up the stack and eventually revert the task state from "spawning"
  to None.  Then after the instance has finished booting and the
  _instance_update is attempted in _spawn() in compute/manager.py the
  expected task state is not found and the instance is put into ERROR
  status.

  One possible solution would be to not allow metadata updates for
  spawning instances but since this is xenapi specific that may not be
  the correct approach.
