Only tested on Openstack.

When an existing compute resource is edited, the Openstack key pair is still stored in Foreman for the old compute resource. Hence, since the key pair does not exist in the new edited compute resource, host creation fails with an ugly 500 "string cannot be nil" when actually the log says what is actually going on " Invalid key_name provided."
