[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server] qm cleanup: avoid problematic cleanup during rollback

[Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

During preparation for rollback, there already is a VM cleanup. The
rollback operation temporarily drops the file lock for the
configuration while doing rollback of the volumes on the storage
layer. If a shutdown operation or more precisely, the cleanup
thereafter happens concurrently, it can get the file lock and do the
cleanup (a second time) while rollback is running. If a badly timed
deactivate for the volume happens, this can cause issues as reported
in the community forum [0] and confirmed locally (but only managed to
reproduce with 'saferemove').
