Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When a volume is attached to a VM in the source compute node through
  multipath, the related files in /dev/disk/by-path/ are like this

  stack@ubuntu-server12:~/devstack$ ls /dev/disk/by-path/*24
  /dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.3.50:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5-lun-24
  /dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.4.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b4-lun-24

  The information on its corresponding multipath device is like this
  stack@ubuntu-server12:~/devstack$ sudo multipath -l 3600601602ba03400921130967724e411
  3600601602ba03400921130967724e411 dm-3 DGC,VRAID
  size=1.0G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
  |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=active
  | `- 19:0:0:24 sdl 8:176 active undef running
  `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=enabled
    `- 18:0:0:24 sdj 8:144 active undef running

  But when the VM is migrated to the destination, the related
  information is like the following example since we CANNOT guarantee
  that all nodes are able to access the same iSCSI portals and the same
  target LUN number. And the information is used to overwrite
  connection_info in the DB before the post live migration logic is
  executed.

  stack@ubuntu-server13:~/devstack$ ls /dev/disk/by-path/*24
  /dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.3.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b5-lun-100
  /dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.4.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b4-lun-100

  stack@ubuntu-server13:~/devstack$ sudo multipath -l 3600601602ba03400921130967724e411
  3600601602ba03400921130967724e411 dm-3 DGC,VRAID
  size=1.0G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
  |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=active
  | `- 19:0:0:100 sdf 8:176 active undef running
  `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=enabled
    `- 18:0:0:100 sdg 8:144 active undef running

  As a result, if post live migration in source side uses <IP>, <IQN> and <TARGET LUN Number> to find the devices to clean up, it may use 192.168.3.51, iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5 and 100.
  However, the correct one should be 192.168.3.50, iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5 and 24.

  Similar philosophy in (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1327497)
  can be used to fix it: Leverage the unchanged multipath_id to find
  correct devices to delete.

  [Test Case]

  Live migrate an instance which uses iSCSI multipath. Verify the
  correct target is removed on source hypervisor.

  [Regression Potential]

  Not much, its included in the next release (Juno). The change
  introduces a check to use a field already used by fiber multipath
  connections which was not used by iscsi multipath code path on
  cleanup. If it fails it would keep remaining behavior of not cleaning
  up iscsi sessions/paths.
