Description

If we stop cloudstack-managment service while a VM snapshot is in progress, the snapshot will be stuck in "Creating" state forever, even after the service is started.
This will leave the snapshot in unusable state (we can't delete it or it won't go into Error state etc).
Repro steps:
==========
Create an instance.
Take a VM snapshot and stop the cloudstack-managment service while the snapshot is in progress.
Check the snapshot state in DB and it will be creating.
Start the management service and check the snapshot state.
It will be creating forever.
