Conflict when creating a Floating IP

[Sridhar Gaddam]

Description of problem :
When running Browbeat+Rally scenario with netcreate-boot-ping scenario (where we spawn a VM, associate a FIP and then try to ping the FIP with concurrency set to 5 and times set to 500), we observed the following in neutron server logs.

Release: Pike
Setup: ODL running in a non-cluster, non-container setup with 1 controller and 32 compute nodes.

For the initial few VMs, rally plugin was able to create FIP successfully. But from 40th VM onwards there was a failure in FloatingIP creation.

On looking at Neutron logs, we could see "conflict when trying to complete your request" errors.

The test suite is failing as its unable to create a FloatingIP.
