    Kill rsync/scp processes before deleting instance
    
    In the resize operation, during copying files from source to
    destination compute node scp/rsync processes are not aborted after
    the instance is deleted because linux kernel doesn't delete instance
    files physically until all processes using the file handle is closed
    completely. Hence rsync/scp process keeps on running until it
    transfers 100% of file data.
    
    Added callback method to execute call which will store the pid of
    scp/rsync process in cache as a key: value pair which will be used to
    kill the process if it is running while deleting the instance. Instance
    uuid is used as a key in the cache and pid will be the value.
