Chef occasionally fails when adding/removing instances

[dvalfre]

It has been observed that Chef fails on occasion with the following error:

 ERROR: resource execute[remove-vm.overcommit_memory-in-sysctl] is configured to notify resource execute[reload-sysctl] with action run, but execute[reload-sysctl] cannot be found in the resource collection

This error happens when instances are added or removed and the platform runs ey-init::integrate.

A workaround is pasted below. Please be aware that this fix has not been throughly tested, so test it on a non-production environment beforehand.

Add the following lines at the beginning of file ey-init/recipes/integrate.rb, and overwrite the recipe:

execute "reload-sysctl" do
  command "sysctl -p"
  action :nothing
end

Once more evidence of this issue, and proper reproduction steps, are available, then a fix will be released.
