Warning messages for unused floating IPs

[Dr. Jens Harbott]

When there are floating IPs in Neutron which are allocated but not assigned to an instance, one will see lots of warnings in the logs like this:

2016-07-19 06:29:00.863 5895 INFO ceilometer.agent.manager [req-d685eb26-b84d-4d6b-80a9-1b81d3cee788 admin - - - -] Polling pollster ip.floating in the context of meter_source

This is fixed in master as a side effect of https://review.openstack.org/308553 but still happens in Mitaka 6.1.1.

I have verified when there are floating IPs in Neutron which are allocated but not assigned to an instance, the status is 'DOWN' rather than 'None' which lead to print warning message.

The issue doesn't exist in master for me, I already proposed a backport of the patch that seems to fix it: https://review.openstack.org/336009

    Refactor floatingip pollster to use discovery

    Note: The bug isn't present in master because it is fixed as a side
    effect of the patch that is cherry-picked here. Still it seems better to
    use this code than to come up with a dedicated bug-fix patch.
