Bug description:
  Description
  ===========

  Using the libvirt driver and a host OS that uses cgroups v2 (RHEL 9,
  Ubuntu Jammy), an instance with more than 16 CPUs cannot be booted.

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  1. Boot an instance with 10 (or more) CPUs on RHEL 9 or Ubuntu Jammy
  using Nova with the libvirt driver.

  Expected result
  ===============

  Instance boots.

  Actual result
  =============

  Instance fails to boot with a 'Value specified in CPUWeight is out of
  range' error.

  Environment
  ===========

  Originially report as a libvirt but in RHEL 9 [1]

  Additional information
  ======================

  This is happening because Nova defaults to 1024 * (# of CPUs) for the
  value of domain/cputune/shares in the libvirt XML. This is then passed
  directly by libvirt to the cgroups API, but cgroups v2 has a maximum
  value of 10000. 10000 / 1024 ~= 9.76
