libvirt: excessive warning logs like "couldn't obtain the vcpu count from domain id: 6bcf0dcb-722f-44a3-a0aa-3fa42dd1075a, exception: Requested operation is not valid: cpu affinity is not supported"

[Matt Riedemann]

These warnings show up a ton which means they probably shouldn't be warnings:

2016-09-10 21:29:16.759 20105 WARNING nova.virt.libvirt.driver [req-386e6a64-0d9c-48ec-bab9-4acabdf55265 - -] couldn't obtain the vcpu count from domain id: 6bcf0dcb-722f-44a3-a0aa-3fa42dd1075a, exception: Requested operation is not valid: cpu affinity is not supported

220K+ times in 7 days in the gate so this is excessive.

The warning is here:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/e92d7537d67c7eb0e49415b429d56be762e02679/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L4922

If cpu affinity is not supported, we shouldn't log that as a warning.

I'm not sure if this is something with the guest configuration or with the version of libvirt/qemu on the host, we might need to ask danpb in the #openstack-nova irc channel.
