iscsid unavaiable after rebooting undercloud

[Alex Schultz]

After rebooting the undercloud the iscsid container is stuck in a restart loop because it cannot bind IPC socket. This can lead to deployment failures because ironic cannot properly deploy the systems without iscsid

Looks like if iscsi-initiator-utils is installed on the undercloud it can prevent the container from starting properly

[Emilien Macchi (emilienm)]

I couldn't reproduce the bug on centos7 with libiscsi-1.9.0-7.el7.x86_64 and centos-binary-iscsid:9ad93affedba8870315dd72c714770875ce24759_b72f0c42.

[Emilien Macchi (emilienm)]

Also, note that on a fresh undercloud deployed by hand from a clean centos7 image, iscsi-initiator-utils wasn't installed.
