Public bug reported:

During instance creation, we call _validate_bdm to valid block device
mappings boot indexes, accessibility, attachability, etc and we call the
Cinder API to do some of that. We query the service version to decide
which Cinder APIs to call and currently, we aren't querying all cells
for the service version. Because we're creating an instance, we don't
yet know what cell it will land in, so we must query all cells to
correctly get the service version. Else, we get a service version of 0
and we'll use the old 'check_attach' Cinder API instead of the newer
'reserve_volume' API in a multi-cell environment.

I found this while working on improvements for the CellDatabases test
fixture.
