Public bug reported:

Description
===========

During a resize, an instance's allocations are removed and replaced by 2
sets of allocations instead. If a resize is completed sucessfully, one
set of allocations is correctly removed, but in case of a failure,
neither set of allocations is removed. Only one set of allocations are
removed if the instance is deleted.

This happens because the call self.compute_rpcapi.resize_instance [1] is
an RPC cast (async), instead of a call (sync). Because of this, the
Except branch [2] in which the allocation is cleared and the instance is
rescheduled, is never called.

Additionally, because not all of the allocations are cleared, the
resources on the compute nodes will become "locked" and unusable. At
some point, instances will no longer be scheduled to those compute
nodes, due to all the resources being "allocated".

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

* Spawn an instance.
* Observe that the table nova_api.allocations only has 1 set of allocations for 
the instance (VCPU, MEMORY, DISK).
* Cold resize to an invalid flavor (e.g.: smaller disk).
* Observe that the table nova_api.allocations has 2 sets of allocations for the 
instance.
* Observe that the cold resize failed, and that the instance's task state has 
been reverted to its original state.
* Observe that the table nova_api.allocations continues to have 2 sets of 
allocations.
* Delete the instance.
* Observe even after the instance has been destroyed, there is still 1 set of 
allocations for the instance.


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

After the cold resize failed, there should be only 1 set of allocations
in the nova_api.allocations table, and after deleting the instance,
there shouldn't be any.


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

After the cold resize failed, there are 2 sets of allocations in the
nova_api.allocations table, after deleting the instance, there is 1 set
of allocations.


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

Branch: Queens
Hypervisor: Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 (unrelated)
