New instance is always in "spawning" status

Bug description:
bundle: openstack-base-bionic-train
https://github.com/openstack-charmers/openstack-bundles/blob/master/development/openstack-base-bionic-train/bundle.yaml
hardware: 2 d05 and 2 d06 (the log of the compute node is from one of the
d06. Please note they are arm64 arch.)
When trying to create new instances on the deployed openstack, the
instance is always in the status of "spawning"
[Steps to Reproduce]
1. Deploy with the above bundle and hardware by following the instruction of
https://jaas.ai/openstack-base/bundle/67
2. Wait about 1.5 until the deployment is ready. By ready it means every unit
shows its message as "ready" e.g. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/k48YVnPyVZ/
3. Follow the instruction of https://jaas.ai/openstack-base/bundle/67 until
the step of "openstack server create" to create new instance. This step is also
summarized in details in this gist code snippet
https://gist.github.com/tai271828/b0c00a611e703046dd52da12a66226b0#file-02-basic-test-just-deployed-sh
[Expected Behavior]
An instance is created a few seconds later
[Actual Behavior]
The status of the instance is always (> 20 minutes) "spawning"
[Additional Information]
1. [workaround] Use `ps aux | grep qemu-img` to check if a qemu-img
image converting process exists or not. The process should complete
within ~20 sec. If the process exists for more than 1 minutes, use
`pkill -f qemu-img` to terminate the process and re-create instances
again.
The image converting process looks like this one:
```
qemu-img convert -t none -O raw -f qcow2 /var/lib/nova/instance
s/_base/9b8156fbecaa194804a637226c8ffded93a57489.part
/var/lib/nova/instances/_base/9b8156fbecaa194804a637226c8ffded93a57489.converted
```
2. By investing in more details, this issue is a coupled issue of 1)
nova should timeout instance process (comment#21) 2) qemu does not
terminate the process to convert the image successfully (comment#20)
