We'll need an havana backport, but maybe wait for the patch to make it
to master first to avoid duplication of work

Title:
  nova rescue doesn't put VM into RESCUE status on vmware
  (CVE-2014-2573)

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) havana series:
  New
Status in The OpenStack VMwareAPI subTeam:

Bug description:
  nova rescue of VM on vmWare will create a additional VM ($ORIGINAL_ID-
  rescue), but after that, the original VM has status ACTIVE. This leads
  to

  [root@jhenner-node ~(keystone_admin)]# nova unrescue foo
  ERROR: Cannot 'unrescue' while instance is in vm_state stopped (HTTP 409) (Request-ID: req-792cabb2-2102-47c5-9b15-96c74a9a4819)

  the original can be deleted, which then causes leaking of the -rescue
  VM.
