Bug Description

If an instance is in RESIZE_VERIFY state, changing password is currently allowed. This resets the task_state, causing nova-compute to forget about the original instance since it's in the middle of a resize.

This is a similar problem to https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/965630 where the task_state gets reset. In this case, disallowing the changePassword action seems to be the best option, but after seeing two of these bugs it might be time to question the overall design of vm_state and task_state.

Woops, the duplicate status is wrong. It should be a duplicate of 965630, not 965360 (I transposed two digits)
