Bug description:
  ---- Begin SRU Template ----
  [Impact]
  Injected files functionality of OpenStack's config drive is broken.

  [Test Case]
  == Reproduce broken functionality ==
  $ echo "hi mom" > my-file.txt
  $ cat > "user-data" <<"EOF"
  #!/bin/sh
  logfile=/run/my.log
  file="/my-file.txt"
  if [ -e "$file" ]; then
     ( echo "=== PASS: file $file ====" ; cat $file ) | tee -a $logfile
     exit 0
  else:
     echo "=== FAIL: no file $file ====" | tee -a $logfile
     exit 1
  EOF

  openstack server create --key-name=brickies --flavor=m1.small \
    --config-drive=1 --image=e9e1dd6a-5e44-4126-81d5-fdd2ab5f9cb6 \
    --user-data=user-data --file=/my-file.txt=my-file.txt \
    injected-file0

  The launched system will have a file in /run/my.log that shows 'FAIL'
  and will not have /my-file.txt on disk.

  == See Fix ==
  # enable proposed
  $ cat > enable-proposed <<"EOF"
  #!/bin/sh
  set -e
  rel=$(lsb_release -sc)
  awk '$1 == "deb" && $2 ~ /ubuntu.com/ {
    printf("%s %s %s-proposed main universe\n", $1, $2, rel); exit(0) };
    ' "rel=$rel" /etc/apt/sources.list |
      tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list
  EOF
  $ sudo sh ./enable-proposed
  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install cloud-init

  # Remove /var/lib/cloud and /var/log/cloud-init* to remove state
  # and indicate this is a new instance on reboot
  $ sudo rm -Rf /var/lib/cloud /var/log/cloud-init*
  $ sudo reboot

  Now ssh back in after reboot, you should
  a.) have /my-file.txt
  b.) see PASS in /run/my.log
  c.) see mention of the 'injected file' in /var/log/cloud-init.log

  [Regression Potential]
  Regression potential on Ubuntu should be very small.

  ---- End SRU Template ----

  Trove launches instances using the servers.create() API with some
  files. Trove provides a dictionary of files that it wants on the
  instance and most of the time this works. Nova passes them to the
  launched VM as metadata on config drive.

  Sometimes though, it doesn't.

  When injection fails, I see a cloud-init.log that looks like this:

  https://gist.github.com/amrith/7566d8fef4b6e813cca77e5e3b1f1d5a

  When injection succeeds, I see a cloud-init.log that looks like this:

  https://gist.github.com/amrith/50d9e3050d88ec51e13b0a510bd718c3

  Observe that the one that succeeds properly injects three files:

  /etc/injected_files (which is something I added just for debugging)
  /etc/trove/conf.d/... two files here ...

  On a machine where this injection failed:

  root@m10:/tmp/zz/openstack/content# ls -l /etc/trove
  total 4
  drwxr-xr-x 2 amrith root 4096 Jul 12 16:55 conf.d
  root@m10:/tmp/zz/openstack/content# ls -l /etc/trove/conf.d/
  total 4
  root@m10:/tmp/zz/openstack/content#

  Clearly, no files made it over. Yet, the files are definitely there on
  the config drive ...

  I've mounted the config drive.

  root@m10:/tmp/zz/openstack/content# mount | grep zz
  /dev/sr0 on /tmp/zz type iso9660 (ro,relatime)

  root@m10:/tmp/zz/openstack/content# cd /tmp/zz
