Sorry, I didn't describe clearly in the comment.

Some of those comments about save a DB call with more conditions checks. It
means if enable a enabled service, we needn't a db call, we can just return
to the user 200 directly.

One of those comments is about when the API user specified 'status=enabled'
and 'disabled_reason' in the request body, then we just ignore the
'disabled_reason' and didn't save it into the db also. That sounds not
right. We should return 400 to the API user, you can't specified the
'status=enabled' and 'disabled_reason'.
