Title:
  Dell PowerFlex: Size shown for a volume doesn't match powerflex
  backend allocation

Status in Cinder:
  Invalid
Status in Glance:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Description

  When creating a volume, powerflex will round the value of the capacity
  by a multiple of 8GB leaving inconsistency between cinder which shows
  the value requested by the user and powerflex which shows the current
  allocation.

  Step to reproduce

  Create a volume with a size different from 8GB multiplier
  stack@SRA-Left-Openstack1:~/devstack$ openstack volume create --size 3 --type powerflex test_vol_pflex

  This introduces multiple side effects:

  1. Allocation capacity not being monitored correctly
  2. Extension of volume withing the same range will fail as the volume is already at that size (Example: volume extenstion from 5 to 7, backend already set to 8)
  3. Quota also affected

  This bug consolidates other bugs opened for various behavior but still happens because of the same issue:
