Bug description:
  Description
  ===========
  A compute host dies but before anything notices it a VM that was running on that host is requested to be stopped by the user. The VM task_state is set to powering-off and the shutdown RPC is sent to the dead compute. A bit later the monitoring system detect that the compute is dead and fences the compute, set the compute to forced_down in nova and triggers the evacuation of the VM. However the evacuation is rejected by nova:

  Cannot 'evacuate' instance 81451eb2-4600-4036-a6f1-b99139f0d277 while
  it is in task_state powering-off (HTTP 409) (Request-ID:
  req-363ca0a3-0d68-42f6-95d2-122bd2a53463)


  Steps to reproduce
  ==================
  0) deploy a multi node devstack
  1) create a VM
     $openstack --os-compute-api-version 2.80 server create --image cirros-0.5.2-x86_64-disk --flavor c1 --nic net-id=public  --use-config-drive vm1 --wait
  2) stop the nova-compute service of the host the VM is scheduled to:
     $sudo systemctl stop devstack@n-cpu
  3) stop the VM
     $openstack server stop vm1
  4) fence the host and force the host down in nova
  5) try to evacuate the VM
     $server evacuate vm1

  Expected result
  ===============
  The VM is evacuated successfully 

  Actual result
  =============
  Cannot 'evacuate' instance 81451eb2-4600-4036-a6f1-b99139f0d277 while it is in task_state powering-off (HTTP 409) (Request-ID: req-363ca0a3-0d68-42f6-95d2-122bd2a53463)

  Environment
  ===========
  devstack on recent master

  Workaround
  ==========
  The admin can reset the state of the VM with 
  $nova reset-state --active vm1 
  then retry the evacuation.
