Title:
  nova destroys wrong instance if trying to create a new instance with
  the same name

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) pike series:
  New

Bug description:
  
  Description
  ===========
  If trying to create a new VM instance(let's call vm1) with the same instance name
  on the same compute host, old existing VM instance(vm1) is destroyed. And openstack
  does not intend such situation so the status of old instance(vm1) is 'ACTIVE'

  
  Steps to reproduce
  ==================
  A chronological list of steps which will bring off the
  issue you noticed:
  1. create one VM.
  2. check the VM is created.
  3. create another VM on the same host with the same name of the created VM in step 1
    * In order to make same named instance, we can change nova config like below
       instance_name_template = %(hostname)s 
  4. check the VM exist. openstack has active instance but real VM is not.
  :
  [controller]# nova list

  Expected result
  ===============
  old VM instance should be running.

  Actual result
  =============
  There is no running VM.

  Environment
  ===========
  1. Exact version of OpenStack you are running. 
  Tested on Ocata

  2. Which hypervisor did you use?
  Libvirt + KVM

  
  Logs & Configs
  ==============
  # grep instance_name_template /etc/nova/nova.conf 
  #instance_name_template=instance-%08x
  instance_name_template = %(hostname)s
