    Remove "or 'reserved'" condition from reserve_block_device_name
    
    This condition was added in 66f1a34cabc26930db2a1afed5a0f5ced4d1c015
    in grizzly to fix a regression with the compute 2.x rpc api.
    
    As of 91b35b22e753a4eb0c22c004bb12586970a95e11 we require compute
    rpc api >= 4.0 so the 2.x rpc api compat is no longer a concern.
    
    We should remove this condition since it's confusing, especially
    considering that the block_device_mappings table has no unique constraint
    yet we try to treat them as unique in most cases.
    
    Note that the v2 and v2.1 REST APIs also require that a volumeId is
    provided when attaching a volume (which is the only API that uses this
    method), so the volume_id should always be provided and we don't need to
    worry about this optional case.
    
    Apparently there was never a unit test added for this case, so there are
    no tests to update.

Title:
  compute manager reserve_block_device_name should not set 'reserved' as
  BDM volume_id

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The code here is misleading:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/d49a78e9f895be36eeeb3da88e2472cf773cb105/nova/compute/manager.py#L4638

  volume_id=volume_id or 'reserved',

  That originated in grizzly with:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/66f1a34cabc26930db2a1afed5a0f5ced4d1c015

  To fix a problem in the 2.x compute api where volume_id was optional.

  As of
  https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/91b35b22e753a4eb0c22c004bb12586970a95e11
  we now required compute rpcapi >= 4.0 so we don't support the 2.x
  volume_id being optional case.

  Furthermore, the v2 API and v2.1 REST APIs require the volume_id to be
  passed in when attaching a volume:

  v2:
  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/legacy_v2/contrib/volumes.py#L293

  v2.1:
  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/schemas/volumes.py#L79

  So we should remove that "or 'reserved'" condition in the compute
  manager code since it's very confusing, especially when we don't have
  unique constraints on the BDM table in the database, we really need to
  have a unique volume_id (or None in the case of booting from
  blank/image/snapshot).
