Bug description:
  [Impact]

  See bug description

  [Test Case]

   * deploy openstack mitaka and configure nova.conf with vcpu-pin-
  set=0,1,2,3

     https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25133260/

   * configure compute host kernel opts with "isolcpus=0,1,2,3" + reboot

   * create flavor with:

     openstack flavor create --public --ram 2048 --disk 10 --vcpus 2 --swap 0 test_flavor
     openstack flavor set --property hw:cpu_realtime_mask='^0' test_flavor
     openstack flavor set --property hw:cpu_policy=dedicated test_flavor
     openstack flavor set --property hw:cpu_thread_policy=prefer test_flavor
     openstack flavor set --property hw:cpu_realtime=yes test_flavor

   * boot instance with ^^ flavor

   * check that libvirt xml for vm has correct emulator pin cpuset #

  [Regression Potential]

  None expected.

  
  ====

  Description of problem:
  When using the cpu_realtime and cpu_realtim_mask flag to create new instance, the 'cpuset' of 'emulatorpin' option is using the id of vcpu which is incorrect. The id of host cpu should be used here.

  e.g.
    <cputune>
      <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/>
      <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/>
      <emulatorpin cpuset='0'/>          ### the cpuset should be '2' here, when cpu_realtime_mask=^0.
      <vcpusched vcpus='1' scheduler='fifo' priority='1'/>
    </cputune>

  How reproducible:
  Boot new instance with cpu_realtime_mask flavor.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Create RT flavor
  nova flavor-create m1.small.performance 6 2048 20 2
  nova flavor-key m1.small.performance set hw:cpu_realtime=yes
  nova flavor-key m1.small.performance set hw:cpu_realtime_mask=^0
  nova flavor-key m1.small.performance set hw:cpu_policy=dedicated
  2. Boot a instance with this flavor
  3. Check the xml of the new instance

  Actual results:
    <cputune>
      <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/>
      <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/>
      <emulatorpin cpuset='0'/>
      <vcpusched vcpus='1' scheduler='fifo' priority='1'/>
    </cputune>

  Expected results:
    <cputune>
      <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/>
      <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/>
      <emulatorpin cpuset='2'/>
      <vcpusched vcpus='1' scheduler='fifo' priority='1'/>
    </cputune>
