Title:
  _poll_unconfirmed_resizes may not retry later if confirm_resize fails
  in API

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) ussuri series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is based on code inspection but let's say I have configured my
  computes to set resize_confirm_window=3600 to automatically confirm a
  resized server after 1 hour. Within that hour, let's say the source
  compute service is down.

  The periodic task gets the unconfirmed migrations with
  status='finished' which have been updated some time older than the
  given configurable window:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/5a3ef39539ca112ae0552aef5cbd536338db61b7/nova/compute/manager.py#L8793

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/5a3ef39539ca112ae0552aef5cbd536338db61b7/nova/db/sqlalchemy/api.py#L4342

  The periodic task then calls the compute API code to confirm the
  resize:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c295e395d/nova/compute/manager.py#L7160

  which changes the migration status to 'confirming':

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/5a3ef39539ca112ae0552aef5cbd536338db61b7/nova/compute/api.py#L3684

  And casts off to the source compute:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/5a3ef39539ca112ae0552aef5cbd536338db61b7/nova/compute/rpcapi.py#L600

  Now if the source compute is down and that fails, the compute manager
  task code will handle it and say it will retry later:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c295e395d/nova/compute/manager.py#L7163

  However, because the migration status was changed from 'finished' to
  'confirming' the task will not retry because it won't find the
  migration given the DB query. And trying to confirm the resize via the
  API will fail as well because we'll get MigrationNotFoundByStatus
  since the migration status is no longer 'finished':

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/5a3ef39539ca112ae0552aef5cbd536338db61b7/nova/compute/api.py#L3681

  The compute manager code should probably mark the migration status as
  'finished' again if it's really going to try later, or mark the
  migration status as 'error'. Note that the confirm_resize method in
  the compute manager doesn't mark the migration status as 'error' if
  something fails there either:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c295e395d/nova/compute/manager.py#L3807
