Title:
  "if not host:" never holds in function
  get_instance_availability_zone() of module nova.availability_zones

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Version: stable/juno

  Description:
  This bug report is created to separate two issues found in this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1390033.
  The purpose is to fix at first the bug that the "if not host:" never holds in function get_instance_availability_zone() of module nova.availability_zones in case host is None. This is because str(None) is never interpreted False.

  For proof, please look at the output of the Python interactive
  session:

  Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
  [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> host = str(None)
  >>> print host
  None
  >>> if not host:
  .......print "if not host"
  ....else:
  ...... print "else"
  ...
  else

  >>> var = None
  >>> if not var:
  .......print "if not var"
  ....else:
  .......print "else"
  ...
  if not var

  So, it can be seen that str(None) returns an object whose value is
  None, but it is not interpreted False as expected!
