Bug 1415800

Description of problem:

When running the playbooks, the installer will fail during the os_firewall : Add iptables allow rules role/task due to a lock on xtables. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenShift 3.x

How reproducible:
Random 

Additional info:

Kubernetes hit this issue with OpenShift seen here in upstream issue:  https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/7370

The solution could be to add the -w flag to  wait for the xtables lock in the os_firewall_manage_iptables module.

Checking if the rules generates a exit code not equal to 0 and then the module will try to create the chain or rule and then fail because it is already created.
