Thanks a lot Jim for fixing this!

With this in place I can now continue the work on devstack, tempest and
grenade base roles and jobs for zuul v3.
Next steps (in order of dependency):
- backport ansible devstack changes to queens and pike
- start using the "orchestrate-devstack" role in the "devstack-tempest" base
  job - so that it can be used for multinode jobs as well
- continue the work on setting up a grenade zuulv3 job
