Title:
  XenAPI: Race condition in wait for coalesce

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  wait for coalesce scans the SR then checks if the GC has finished.
  The GC might finish between the two calls, so the state of the system is pre-GC but the GC claims not to be running.

  This is a race which can cause an error when actually the state is now
  correct.
