There are instances where cinder needs to create a temporary volume and this can trigger a flatten of the new temporary volume, which will make the operation take a lot longer. In some cases this means slower operations, but in others it leads to rpc timeout failures. A case where we see timeout failures is when doing a backup of a snapshot and we have rbd_flatten_volume_from_snapshot=true. This patch ensures that we don't flatten temporary volumes.
