Why fence_compute stonith resource attempts to fence controller node?
Issue
The fence_compute resource is used to mark nova-compute service on failed compute node as down. However this stonith resource is sometimes invoked to fence controller nodes and this invocation eventually fails (times out).
The timeout is expected in this situation but ideally fence_compute shouldn't attempt to fence controller nodes at all.
