Title:
  Keystone's policy enforcer breaks oslopolicy-list-redundant

Status in OpenStack Identity (keystone):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If I create a config file named fake.conf that looks like this:

  [oslo_policy]
  policy_file = /home/fedora/keystone/keystone.policy.yaml

  and put a redundant rule in the referenced policy file, that rule
  should get printed out when I run:

  oslopolicy-list-redundant --config-file ./fake.conf --namespace
  keystone

  Unfortunately it's not. I believe the reason is this line in the
  enforcer code in keystone:
  https://github.com/openstack/keystone/blob/b56af0b207748afb6a67d2bb77425028b8d98882/keystone/common/rbac_enforcer/policy.py#L43

  That causes the config object to drop all cli arguments, so the
  --config-file is ignored and the default search path is used. In my
  case, I don't actually have a file at the default search path so the
  tool silently* falls back to the default policy-in-code. This means
  the tool is essentially doing nothing, but behaving as if it verified
  everything.

  *: Silent because it uses the default value for policy_file, and since
  policy files are optional now we don't warn if the default one is
  missing.

  I am able to fix this by making the following changes:

  diff --git a/keystone/common/rbac_enforcer/policy.py b/keystone/common/rbac_enforcer/policy.py

  I'm not entirely sure why the CONF object was getting re-initialized
  in the enforcer code in Keystone. IMHO that's the job of the entry
  point, which in this case is oslo.policy. I believe Keystone is
  already initializing the object itself in
  https://github.com/openstack/keystone/blob/b56af0b207748afb6a67d2bb77425028b8d98882/keystone/server/__init__.py#L32
  so I'm guessing it was added exclusively for oslo.policy?
