[Matt Riedemann <mriedem.os@xxxxxxxxx>]

Marking this as low severity since most deployments are probably running
all services (except maybe nova-compute) with the api_db/connection
configured so they wouldn't hit this, but it's definitely something we
can hit in a multinode devstack environment in the gate.

  This is because in a default superconductor mode in devstack, the
  n-cpu and n-cond-cell1 services aren't configured for the nova API DB
  and can't hit the instance mappings table in the API DB, but when
  nova-compute casts to the cell conductor's migrate_server method, it's
  decorated with the @targets_cell decorator which attempts to find the
  instance mapping for the instance to get the cell and blows up.

  In this reschedule scenario, the instance (and context) are actually
  already targeted to a cell so we should be able to just short-circuit
  the targets_cell decorator.
