    Restore RT.old_resources if ComputeNode.save() fails
    
    When starting nova-compute for the first time with a new node,
    the ResourceTracker will create a new ComputeNode record in
    _init_compute_node but without all of the fields set on the
    ComputeNode, for example "free_disk_gb".
    
    Later _update_usage_from_instances will set some fields on the
    ComputeNode record (even if there are no instances on the node,
    why - I don't know) like free_disk_gb.
    
    This will make the eventual call from _update() to _resource_change()
    update the value in the old_resouces dict and return True, and then
    _update() will try to update those ComputeNode changes to the database.
    If that update fails, for example due to a DBConnectionError, the
    value in old_resources will still be for the current version of the node
    in memory but not what is actually in the database.
    
    Note that this failure does not result in the compute service failing
    to start because ComputeManager._update_available_resource_for_node
    traps the Exception and just logs it.
    
    A subsequent trip through the RT._update() method - because of the
    update_available_resource periodic task - will call _resource_change
    but because old_resource matches the current state of the node, it
    returns False and the RT does not attempt to persist the changes to
    the DB. _update() will then go on to call _update_to_placement
    which will create the resource provider in placement along with its
    inventory, making it potentially a candidate for scheduling.
    
    This can be a problem later in the scheduler because the
    HostState._update_from_compute_node method may skip setting fields
    on the HostState object if free_disk_gb is not set in the
    ComputeNode record - which can then break filters and weighers
    later in the scheduling process (see bug 1834691 and bug 1834694).
    
    The fix proposed here is simple: if the ComputeNode.save() in
    RT._update() fails, restore the previous value in old_resources
    so that the subsequent run through _resource_change will compare the
    correct state of the object and retry the update.
    
    An alternative to this would be killing the compute service on startup
    if there is a DB error but that could have unintended side effects,
    especially if the DB error is transient and can be fixed on the next
    try.
    
    Obviously the scheduler code needs to be more robust also, but those
    improvements are left for separate changes related to the other bugs
    mentioned above.
    
    Also, ComputeNode.update_from_virt_driver could be updated to set
    free_disk_gb if possible to workaround the tight coupling in the
    HostState._update_from_compute_node code, but that's also sort of
    a whack-a-mole type change best made separately.
