Now that nova-rootwrap is returning real return codes, ensure_metadata_ip() is failing on return code 2 when creating the metadata ip, because it already exists:

There seems to have been a change upstream wrt return codes from iproute:

root@ip-10-252-15-139:~# dpkg -l | grep iproute
ii iproute 20110629-1 networking and traffic control tools
root@ip-10-252-15-139:~# sudo ip addr add 169.254.169.254/32 scope link dev lo ; echo $?
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
254

Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up iproute (20111117-1ubuntu1) ...
root@ip-10-252-15-139:~# sudo ip addr add 169.254.169.254/32 scope link dev lo ; echo $?
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
2

Seems this has changed in upstream iproute2 - http://git.jauu.net/?p=iproute2.git;a=commitdiff;h=7397944de6c11519a5951fc1bcff20225e71c4bd

Seems like a crazy change, but in any case, precise is now on this version and nova-network should check for both 2 and 254.
