Public bug reported:

Description
===========
When an instance is evacuated to another host, the VM remains on the source host until it is brought back up and deleted by compute via _destroy_evacuated_instances.

However if the VM that's created on the destination is deleted before
the source host is brought back up, then _destroy_evacuated_instances
won't reap the remains because it searches non-deleted records.

Steps to reproduce
==================
1. Deploy a VM.
2. Bring the host the VM is on down.
3. Evacuate the VM to a different host.
4. Delete the VM from the destination.
5. Bring the source host back up.

The source remnants from the evacuation will not be cleaned up, but they
should be.

Suspect code is in the nova compute manager in
_destroy_evacuated_instances:

1. MigrationList.get_by_filters doesn't appear to return deleted migration records.
2. {'deleted': False} is currently passed as the filter to _get_instances_on_driver.
