[SRU] killfilter should handle updated/deleted executables

Here is an example:

[root@nova1 nova]# ll /proc/6227/exe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 28 19:34 /proc/6227/exe -> /usr/sbin/dnsmasq (deleted)

For reference I *think* this is the relevant filesystem code that causes the ' (deleted)' to appear in proc:

    Make KillFilter to handle 'deleted' w/o rstrip.

    The initial code for this fixed used rstrip incorrectly.
    This implementation uses endswith and rindex instead
    and should read a bit more easily.

    Also added a unit test to test that 'deleted' exe's are
    filtered correctly.

    Fixes LP Bug #967931.

post-mortem: This should have used a separate bug, so that we can track the incremental fix separately. Also I can't find a description of the symptoms of this incorrect rstrip use...

** Impact **

The KillFilter class used by rootwrapper currently relies on the /proc/PID/exe symlink to determine the command used to execute a process. This works fine until an executable is updated/deleted while a process is running.

** Development Fix **

This has been addressed in the trunk at https://review.openstack.org/6865 and fixed in quantal

** Stable Fix **

This has been addressed in the stable/essex tree at: https://review.openstack.org/6834

** Test Case **

Not available

** Regression Potential **

Minimal, if the process have (deleted) then the killfilter will remove them properly now.

** Regression Potential **

Updated ** Test Case **

Run the following tests

./run_tests nova.tests.test_nova_rootwrap

Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nova into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Please find the attached Jenkins job results from the Ubuntu Server Team's CI
infrastructure. As part of the verification process for this bug, Nova has
been deployed and configured across multiple nodes using precise-proposed as
an installation source. After successful bring-up and configuration of the
cluster, a number of exercises and smoke tests have be invoked to ensure the
updated package did not introduce any regressions. A number of test iterations
were carried out to catch any possible transient errors.

Note the list of installed packages at the top and bottom of the report.
