Bug Description

The compile_ovs function from the DevStack OVS module fails when the host OS is using a older kernel even if the "build_modules" parameter is set to False.

The code will attempt to install the matching version of the kernel-devel and kernel-headers package, but, since we are running with an older kernel those package may not be presented.

There's no reason to install these packages when we are not compiling the modules, so, I suggest we use the "build_modules" parameters as a flag to indicate whether these packages should be installed or not.

    DevStack: OVS: Only install kernel-* packages when needed

    If the host OS is using an older kernel and invoke the compile_ovs
    function from the DevStack OVS library (devstack/lib/ovs), that function
    will try to install the kernel-dev and kernel-headers package even if
    the "build_modules" parameter is set to False.

    That could fail because the specific kernel-* packages for the version
    of the kernel running may not be present in the distro's repository
    anymore. Plus, if the kernel modules will not be compiled, there's no
    reason to install such packages.

    This patch is fixing this problem by using the "build_modules" parameter
    as a flag to whether install or not those kernel-* packages.
