Bug description:
  Using the UCA ocata release of libvirt we sporatically recieve this
  error message in nova-compute.log:

  2017-06-12 14:32:54.359 19007 ERROR nova.compute.manager [instance:
  d1af2a13-0a53-4d9c-ada3-683e4973f28a] libvirtError: internal error:

  Warning **: reds.c:2463:reds_init_socket: reds_init_socket: binding
  socket to 10.141.112.21:5900 failed

  Please backport the fix for the following bug into UCA ocata/pike releases:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1397440

  The patch is documented here:
  https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/libvir/msg144093.html

  We've tested backporting this same fix using the ocata UCA libvirt
  2.5.0-3ubuntu5~cloud0 source package and it fixes the problem for us.
