    libvirt: Don't disregard cache mode for instance boot disks

    One of the things this commit:

        commit 14c38ac0f253036da79f9d07aedf7dfd5778fde8
        Author: Kashyap Chamarthy <email address hidden>

            libvirt: Post-migration, set cache value for Cinder volume(s)

        [...]

    did was to supposedly remove "duplicate" calls to _set_cache_mode().

    But that came back to bite us.

    Now, while the Cinder volumes are taken care of w.r.t handling its cache
    value during migration, but the above referred commit (14c38ac) seemed
    to introduce a regression because it disregards the 'disk_cachemodes'
    Nova config parameter altogether for boot disks -- i.e. even though if
    a user set the cache mode to be 'writeback', it's ignored and
    instead 'none' is set unconditionally.

    Add the _set_cache_mode() calls back in _get_guest_storage_config().
