That commit from arosen is from 2013, and this is fixed I think since then:

"""
This problem usually manifests it's self when nova-compute
     calls to neutron to create a port and the request times out (though
     the port is actually created in neutron). When this occurs the instance
     can be rescheduled on another compute node which it will call out to
     neutron again to create a port. In this case two ports will show
     up in the network_cache table (since they have the same instance_id) though
     only one port is attached to the instance.

So nova will cleanup ports created during a failed build prior to rescheduling.

So I think we should add a force_refresh flag to the _heal_instance_info_cache flow so that we refresh from neutron rather than the nova db.
