Public bug reported:

Currently the "_get_instance_bdms_in_multiple_cells" function in
extended_volumes runs sequentially and this affects the performance in
case of large deployments (running a lot of cells) :
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/extended_volumes.py#L50

So it would be nice to use the scatter_gather_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_cells function.
This helps when a cell is down.
