  Cinder utils SSHPool should allow customized ssh host keys and missing
  policy

  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix
Status in OpenStack Security Notes:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In cinder/utils.py, SSHPool is using paramiko.AutoAddPolicy() as
  default. This may lead security issue without being notified. The
  utility should allow customized usage when create the pool or session.
  Also the host_keys file should be allowed to be customized so that any
  driver utilizing the SSHPool should have their customized security
  setting or delegate to customer's scenario & configuration to
  determine the policy and key files.
