Bug description:
  [Description]
  [Test Case]
  When creating a volume from a glance UEC image, the RBD driver fails to combine the rootfs, kernel, and ramdisk into a single volume suitable for booting an instance.  Instead, only the rootfs is written to the volume, which is empty.  This causes nova's boot-from-volume operation to fail if the volume is ceph-backed and the image is of type UEC.

  By contrast, the same operation on an LVM volume yields a volume that
  contains all the necessary pieces to boot an instance.

  This is also likely the reason for recent ceph CI job failures in
  test_volume_boot_pattern, as tempest executes this exact set of
  operations.

  [Regression Potential]
  Regression potential is low. Patch is cherry-picked from upstream stable/liberty branch without any changes.
