Subject: [PATCH] Fix the storage group missing for external ceph

Using external Ceph with Kolla means there is no storage node for
kolla, but cinder-volume must be run on nodes(it can be controller
nodes or compute nodes), and the external-ceph-guide miss storage node,
this patch to fix it.

Closes-Bug: #1740028

+=======================
+
+When using external Ceph, there may be no nodes defined in the storage group.
+This will cause Cinder and related services relying on this group to fail.
+In this case, operator should add some nodes to the storage group, all the
