Public bug reported:

The current workflow of rebooting a instance is:

1. Reboot an active instance. If succeed, instance is still in active
state.

2. Reboot an active instance. If fail, and power_state is running,
instance is still in active state.

3. Reboot an active instance. If fail, and power_state is not running,
instance will become error state.

4. Reboot an error instance. If succeed, instance will become active
state.

5. Reboot an error instance. If fail, instance is still in error state.


#1 and #2 are completely opposite result from user perspective. Especially, user should always hope to be informed, if his/her operation is not done as expected.  However, the instance information output by Nova api does not distinguish #1 and #2,  so that the user is not able to know if the reboot instance operation succeed or fail.
