Bug Description

After creating a Virsh Pod in MAAS, I cannot delete the pod and get the follow stacktrace showing in the UI:

On a fresh install (new db as well), I am still getting an error on delete but it is the more compact UI error of:

Performing delete failed: ("Cannot delete some instances of model 'VLAN' because they are referenced through a protected foreign key: 'PhysicalInterface.vlan'", [<PhysicalInterface: name=ens3, type=physical, mac=52:54:00:c3:99:ac, id=1>])

My MAAS server was running on a Virsh VM and when using deb packages or the MAAS snap, I am able to delete the Virsh Pod without any issues. Setting to won't fix at the moment (it may come up again in the future at some point but this seems to be a rather rare issue as it seems no one else has run into it and could be an issue with my testing setup).

I found a way to consistently reproduce this issue with MAAS 2.6.2 (7841-ga10625be3-0ubuntu1~18.04.1) on KVM. Basically this happens when:
- you install a MAAS region controller on a KVM machine,
- you create a virsh pod whose address points to your host running KVM.
At this point you have a nice setup where you can simply create new VMs by using "Compose machine" from MAAS' WebUI but you can't delete the pod anymore without consistently getting the exception mentioned above (AttributeError: 'Subnet' object has no attribute '_vlan_cache').

Detailed steps to reproduce:

On your host:

```
# Install KVM:
sudo apt install virt-manager
sudo reboot # see https://askubuntu.com/q/345218/113686
virt-manager
```

In `virt-manager`:
- Create a new virtual network:
    - Name: maasisotest
    - Network: 10.17.17.0/24
    - No DHCP
    - Forwarding to physical network:
        - Destination: Any physical device
        - Mode: NAT
- Create a new VM:
    - Local install media (latest Ubuntu Server 18.04 ISO image)
    - Name: 0-maas-controller0
    - Network selection: maasisotest
    - Ubuntu installation:
        - F4 Modes: Install a minimal virtual machine
        - Install MAAS Region Controller
        - Configure network manually:
            - IP address: 10.17.17.200
            - Netmask: 255.255.255.0
            - Gateway: 10.17.17.1
            - Name server addresses: 10.17.17.1
        - Hostname: 0-maas-controller0
        - Domain name: (none)

Access MAAS’ WebUI at http://10.17.17.200:5240/MAAS :
- Finalize MAAS’ setup by accepting the default options.
- Enable DHCP:
    - Navigate to Subnets / untagged / Take action / Provide DHCP:
        - Dynamic range start IP: 10.17.17.100
        - Dynamic range end IP: 10.17.17.199

We now want MAAS to be able to create and power VMs on and off by talking to the host’s libvirt:

```
ssh 10.17.17.200
sudo apt install ssh

# Upgrade from MAAS 2.4 to 2.6:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maas/2.6
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

# Enable the `maas` user and switch to it:
sudo chsh -s /bin/bash maas
sudo su - maas

# Generate a keypair and get it trusted by your host:
ssh-keygen -N ‘’
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub myuser@10.17.17.1

# Check that MAAS can now communicate with the host’s libvirt without
# having to type a password:
virsh -c qemu+ssh://myuser@10.17.17.1/system list --all
  => Id Name State
  => -----------------------------------
  => 1 0-maas-controller0 running
exit
exit
```

Disable DHCP on libvirt’s `default` network by typing this directly on the host:

```
# Stop the `default` network:
virsh net-destroy default

# At this point we could remove DHCP from the network’s config and restart
# it but it’s easier to just keep it stopped.
# virsh net-edit default # remove <dhcp></dhcp>
# virsh net-start default

virsh net-autostart --disable default
virsh net-list --all
```

From MAAS’ WebUI:
- Create a Virsh pod:
    - Navigate to Pods / Add pod:
        - Pod name: mypod
        - Pod type: Virsh (virtual systems)
        - Virsh address: qemu+ssh://myuser@10.17.17.1/system
        - Virsh password: (none)
    - Do Pods / mypod / Take action / Refresh
    - Do P...
