Bug Description

Upon instance termination, the libvirt driver does not clean up nwfilter rules for the instance. As a result, these rules stay resident both on disk and in memory, causing a steady performance degradation that makes several critical operations very slow over time, including:

* instance launching
* nova-compute startup
* security group modifications

As a result of this, on Nebula it can take 30+ minutes for compute hosts to restart after upgrades, and many minutes for instances to launch.
