Public bug reported:

Currently the "_get_computes_for_cells" function in the host_manager of
scheduler runs sequentially and this affects the performance in case of
large deployments (running a lot of cells) :

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/pike/nova/scheduler/host_manager.py#L601

So it would be nice to use the scatter_gather_all_cells function to do
this operation in parallel.

Also apart from the performance scaling point of view, in case
connection to a particular cell fails, it would be nice to have
sentinels returned which is done by the scatter_gather_all_cells. This
helps when a cell is down.
