Title:
  Non managed Instance deleted during create

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  When you have on compute node unmanaged instance (not created with OS)
  it would be expected that it's ignored by OpenStack, but in case when
  it's name (e.g. instance-00000015) is same as the name openstack
  allocated to the new instance it will act very bad.

  At first attempt the deployment will fail, and the unmanaged instance
  will be destroyed (probably because compute wants to remove leftovers
  of the failed deployment). After that at the next attempt the instance
  will be created.

  At the end user will have a new instance managed by openstack that
  replaced former unmanaged instance (has same name) in libvirt without
  single notification to user.
