Title:
  Network interface should be restarted if instance has a static ip
  address.

Status in Init scripts for use on cloud images:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Network interface should be restarted if instance has a static ip
  address.

  Details are as follows.

  1. create a instance with specifying a static ip address A.

  2. create a snapshot of a instance.

  3. create a instance from snapshot with specifying a static ip address
  B.

    3.1 instance start (At this time, network interface is still specified to use ip address A.)
    3.2 cloud-init edits /etc/network/interface to use ip address B.
    3.3 cloud-init executes ifup command.
        but network interface has already up, so new network information is not reflected.

  
  We have to modify the _bring_up_interface method like this.
