Public bug reported:

There is a race when both neutron-ovs-cleanup and nova-compute trying to
do operations on the qvb*** and qvo*** devices. Below is a scenario I
recently met,

1. nova-compute was started and creating the veth_pair for VM instances
running on the host -
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/icehouse/nova/network/linux_net.py#L1298

2. neutron-ovs-cleanup was kicked off and deleted all the ports.

3. when nova-compute tried to set the MTU at
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/icehouse/nova/network/linux_net.py#L1280
, Stderr: u'Cannot find device "qvo***"\n' was reported. Because the
device that was just created was deleted again by neutron-ovs-cleanup.

As they both operate on the same resources, there needs a way to
synchronize the operations the two processes do on those resources.
