Public bug reported:

Every now and then we've been seeing an error from libvirt
"libvirtError: internal error: Some processes refused to die" when
destroying containers. This appears to happen when libvirt attempts to
kill all of the processes in a container, but they don't die fast
enough. The containers seem to eventually die, but by that point Nova
has already errored the destroy. If we catch this error and let the
wait_for_destroy logic take over, the destroy should finish just fine.
