Pre installed host intent does not work if the host entries were not present in ONOS during install

It is observed that if a host intent is added (user/admin already has hosts Mac address information) with out host entries present in ONOS and trying to ping between hosts fail in this scenario.
Steps:
1) Bring up ONOS without any onos-app-fwd or onos-app-ifwd features enabled.
2) Start mininet with a topology (do not try to run any ping between hosts)
3) Verify on ONOS all devices are registered except that ONOS has no host information.
4) Now add a host intent (for example between h1 and h2 using their Mac addresses) on ONOS.
5) Notice that the intent would move to FAIL state.
6) Now try to ping between h1 and h2 on mininet.
7) Check that host entries are added to ONOS, but ping does not go through.
8) In this case if a user tries to install the same intent one more time the ping starts working with ONOS having one FAIL and INSTALLED intents.
