SELECT FOR UPDATE expression, which is triggered with the use of the SQLAlchemy Query object's with_lockmode('update') method, is detrimental to performance and scalability of the database performance code in Neutron due to the lock contention it produces. SELECT FOR UPDATE can be entirely avoided in release_segment methods with the use of single-shot UPDATE and DELETE expressions, and this patch clears a number of uses of SELECT FOR UPDATE by consolidating multiple SQL expressions into one.
