Before this patch was added the instance would go into error state. The subnet is required for security groups.

It seems that this error was introduced after the following code was integrated: https://review.openstack.org/gitweb?p=openstack%2Fnova.git;a=commitdiff;h=45e2398f0c01c327db46ce92fb9dda886455db9d This review mentions that the subnet check will be subsequently removed but the issue is still present in the latest icehouse builds. The issue can be easily simulated by attempting a deploy without associating a subnet with it. Note: port_security_enabled is also not used as a part of the network used.
