NFS doesn't remove snapshots in error status

[Sofia Enriquez]

Description of problem:
While testing NFS snapshot support, on one of the cases snapshot support was set to false. As such a snapshot was created in error state due to lack of backend snapshot support - expected.

When I tried to delete that snapshot it failed (even when using the --force option). Because of that, I can't remove source volume due to the snapshot.

How reproducible:
One quick way to reproduce is to set 'nfs_snapshot_support' to False inside the cinder.conf.

Steps to Reproduce:
Inside the cinder.conf: set 'nfs_snapshot_support' to False.
1. cinder create 1 --name v1
2. cinder snapshot-create v1 --name snap1
The snap should be in 'error' status.
3. cinder snapshot-delete snap1

Actual results:
Snapshot status is 'error_deleting'.

Expected results:
Snapshot delete successfully.

Additional info:
I'm facing this problem in Stein too.

It seems like the real issue here is the create when disabled issue.
Looking at the _check_snapshot_support(), I'm not sure how that doesn't raise
when snaps are disabled.

    Allow removing NFS snapshots in error status

    The NFS driver doesn't allow to delete snapshots in error state when
    snapshot support is disable.

    I'm facing some scenarios where snapshots are enabled then a snapshot
    is created and after that then snapshots are disabled. This results
    in error state snapshots that can't be deleted. Another scenario is
    - with nfs snapshot support disable from the beginning- the API layer
    allows the snapshot to be created but the NFS driver sets the status
    to "error" leaving the snapshot in the DB with error state.
    Because of that, I have snapshots in error state that I'm not able
    to delete.

    The purpose of this fix allow deleting snapshots in error state.
    It makes sense to block creating snapshots when snapshot support is
    False. However, when deleting snapshot we don't want to block
    attempts to delete a broken snapshot DB entry, which is necessary to
    clean up a failed snapshot create.
