CLOUDSTACK-5782. [VMware] Snapshot creation on a detached volume failes with NPE.

Likitha Shetty · Likitha Shetty · commit bc677e2a999f · 2014-01-06T14:34:15.000+05:30
For a detached volume, don't try to find the associated VM on the hypervisor/peer hypervisor host.
By default create a worker VM to perform snapshot operations.
