Title:
  liberty: ~busy loop on epoll_wait being called with zero timeout

Status in nova package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Context: openstack juju/maas deploy using 1510 charms release
  on trusty, with:
    openstack-origin: "cloud:trusty-liberty"
    source: "cloud:trusty-updates/liberty

  * Several openstack nova- and neutron- services, at least:
  nova-compute, neutron-server, nova-conductor,
  neutron-openvswitch-agent,neutron-vpn-agent
  show almost busy looping on epoll_wait() calls, with zero timeout set
  most frequently.
  - nova-compute (chose it b/cos single proc'd) strace and ltrace captures:
    http://paste.ubuntu.com/13371248/ (ltrace, strace)

  As comparison, this is how it looks on a kilo deploy:
  - http://paste.ubuntu.com/13371635/

  * 'top' sample from a nova-cloud-controller unit from
     this completely idle stack:
    http://paste.ubuntu.com/13371809/

  FYI *not* seeing this behavior on keystone, glance, cinder,
  ceilometer-api.

  As this issue is present on several components, it likely comes
  from common libraries (oslo concurrency?), fyi filed the bug to
  nova itself as a starting point for debugging.
