[Bug 1994002] Re: [SRU] migration was active, but no RAM info was set

[Andreas Hasenack]

I verified the test results and am satisfied that they show the executed
planned test case, and that the results are correct.

The package built correctly in all architectures and Ubuntu releases it
was meant for.

There are no DEP8 regressions at the moment.

There is no SRU freeze ongoing at the moment.

There is no halted phasing on the previous update.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * While live-migrating many instances concurrently, libvirt sometimes
  return `internal error: migration was active, but no RAM info was
  set:`

   * Effects of this bug are mostly observed in large scale clusters
  with a lot of live migration activity.

   * Has second order effects for consumers of migration monitor such as
  libvirt and openstack.

  [Test Case]

  Synthetic reproducer with GDB in comment #21.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. live evacuate a compute
  2. live migration of one or more instances fails with the above error

  N.B Due to the nature of this bug it is difficult consistently reproduce.
  In an environment where it has been observed it is estimated to occur approximately 1/1000 migrations.

  [Where problems could occur]
   * In the event of a regression the migration monitor may report an inconsistent state.
