    Gracefully ERROR in _init_instance if vnic_type changed

    If the vnic_type of a bound port changes from "direct" to "macvtap" and
    then the compute service is restarted then during _init_instance nova
    tries to plug the vif of the changed port. However as it now has macvtap
    vnic_type nova tries to look up the netdev of the parent VF. Still that
    VF is consumed by the instance so there is no such netdev on the host
    OS. This error killed the compute service at startup due to unhandled
    exception. This patch adds the exception handler, logs an ERROR and
    continue initializing other instances on the host.

    Also this patch adds a detailed ERROR log when nova detects that the
    vnic_type changed during _heal_instance_info_cache periodic.
