Title:
  Nova calls into neutron as admin circumventing fixed-ip on shared
  network

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In Neutron on shared networks the default policy is to not allow
  tenants from specifying their own fixed ips. This is done so that one
  cannot deliberately try to imposter another tenant's instance after it
  has been deleted.  The reason is working is  because nova is calling
  into neutron as admin.

  $quantum port-create --fixed-ip  ip_address=10.2.0.44  shared-net
  {"NeutronError": "Policy doesn't allow create_port to be performed."}

  ^Fails

  
  $ nova boot --image cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-uec  --nic net-id=abce62c9-2d83-42ea-ada2-fd24e14af842,v4-fixed-ip=10.2.0.44 --flavor 1 vm23
  ^Succeeds

  Marking as a security vulnerability though it's probably not really a
  big deal.
