Public bug reported:

The code to handle new interfaces makes a check to see if the interface
exists and then assumes it will exist for the rest of its operations.
This assumption does not hold true because a device can be removed at
any time (by Nova, the agents, whatever). So when a device is removed at
the wrong time it will cause an exception that will trigger all of the
ports to be rewired, which is an expensive operation and will cause the
status of the ports on the server side to go ACTIVE->BUILD->ACTIVE.
