Bug description:
  If you attempt to boot a nova instance without Neutron properly
  configured for neutron/nova notifications, the instance will
  eventually fail to spawn:

    [-] [instance: 1541a197-9f80-4ee5-a7d6-08e591aa83fd] Instance failed to spawn

  If you try to delete this instance, the delete operation will fail. In
  the logs, you see:

    AUDIT nova.compute.manager [req-a4b30d0b-e6d3-429f-8f7a-b7788b79c86c None] [instance: 1541a197-9f80-4ee5-a7d6-08e591aa83fd] Terminating instance
    WARNING nova.virt.libvirt.driver [-] [instance: 1541a197-9f80-4ee5-a7d6-08e591aa83fd] During wait destroy, instance disappeared.

  At this point, `nova list` will show:

    | 1541a197-9f80-4ee5-a7d6-08e591aa83fd | test0    | ERROR   |
  deleting   | NOSTATE     |                                  |

  And it appears to be impossible to delete this instance.  Running
  "nova reset-state <instance>"  has no effect (with or without
  --active), nor does correctly configuring neutron.

  The only way to get rid of this instance appears to be directly
  editing the database.
