Bug Description
Currently we have a situation where if an instance fails to delete,
instead of having its state reverted, like we do in most places we set
it to error,deleting. This was intentionally done in
https:/
duplicate requests to delete an instance if its already being deleted
(https:/
things means that if an instance fails to delete for some reason a
tenant is unable to delete that instance.
It turns out this is really bad because instances in deleting state
count against quota, so the tenant slowly looses usable quota.
To fix this, allow duplicate delete calls to go through if the instance
is in error state.

Marking as critical because this is hurting openstack-infra in a big way, they have many instances stuck in this state.
