[Openstack-stable-maint] Neutron backports for security group performance

I'm my opinion, the security-group related ones are probably the most importants,
as that specific part of neutron get's a lot of calls from all L2 agents in compute nodes.

In the case of backporting, I'd, at least, let some time to get those changes cured,
and make sure they are not introducing any new failure mode.

Best regards,
Miguel Ángel
