the libvirt lxc dirver is not tested upstream in the gate so this could
be a latent bug. its hard to tell but it might be this mount function
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c6218428e9b29a2c52808ec7d27b4b21aadc0299/nova/privsep/fs.py#L32-L40

being called here 
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c6218428e9b29a2c52808ec7d27b4b21aadc0299/nova/virt/disk/mount/api.py#L250-L251
where only 3 args are passed instead of the 4 that are needed
the options arg is missing.
but if thats the issue its been broken for years.
since https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/7ad72b092201f87530674a245e2904c6401d567c
