Public bug reported:

Nova will delete all backup images according the 'backup_type' parameter
when 'rotation' equals to 0.

But according the logic now, Nova will generate one new backup, and then
delete it..

So It's weird to snapshot a useless backup firstly IMO.
We need to add one new branch here: if 'rotation' is equal to 0, no need to backup, just rotate it.
