Wallaby - placement-status upgrade check failure

[Jayachander Surbiryala]

Placement status upgrade check throws the following error.

$ placement-status upgrade check
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oslo_upgradecheck/upgradecheck.py", line 196, in run
    return conf.command.action_fn()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oslo_upgradecheck/upgradecheck.py", line 104, in check
    result = func_name(self, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oslo_upgradecheck/common_checks.py", line 41, in check_policy_json
    policy_path = conf.find_file(conf.oslo_policy.policy_file)

    raise NotInitializedError()
oslo_config.cfg.NotInitializedError: call expression on parser has not been invoked

Problem is fixed in placement 5.0.1, where as Ubuntu 20.4.2 only have packages for 5.0.0
$ apt-cache policy placement-api
