Title:
  docker virt driver does not stop containers if spawn fails to setup
  network

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Using docker virt driver (i.e. compute_driver = docker.DockerDriver in
  /etc/nova/nova.conf) -- if nova.virt.docker.driver.spawn() fails in
  setup_network(), the started container is not stopped prior to the
  driver reporting error.

  A snippet from docker virt driver's spawn() method:

          self.docker.start_container(container_id)
          try:
              self._setup_network(instance, network_info)
          except Exception as e:
              msg = _('Cannot setup network: {0}')
              raise exception.InstanceDeployFailure(msg.format(e),
                                                    
instance_id=instance['name'])

  
  As shown above, the docker container is started and then networking is 
attempted -- if the _setup_network() call fails, and exception is raised but 
the docker container is left running... I had this happen to me and after the 
_setup_network() error I issued a "docker ps" command -- my container was still 
running until I stopped it manually with "docker stop CID".

  The result of the above is container sprawl.
