Public bug reported:

Method `nova.volume.cinder.API#create` accepts `size` as the 3rd args,
but in wrapper of `nova.volume.cinder.translate_volume_exception`, the 3rd
parameter is volume_id. If we hit cinder exception when creating volumes
like the response body down below:
```
{"itemNotFound": {"message": "Volume type with name xxx could not be found.",
"code": 404}}
```
we may get exception in nova compute log like this:
```
BuildAbortException: Build of instance xxx aborted: Volume 40 could not be
found.
```
actually, `40` is volume size, not voluem id.

This could be a little misleading.
