Title:
  VMware driver can not retrieve vm_ref according to instance['name']

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  VMware driver always uses a method "_get_vm_ref_from_name(session,
  instance['name']" in nova.virt.vmwareapi.vm_util to retrieve the
  vm_ref from vCenter (SDK). Actually the instance['name'] is the name
  assigned by openstack instead of the name assigned by VMware. The
  instance name is such as "instance-00000002". It will return 'Instance
  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx could not be found' when _get_vm_ref_from_name
  use instance['name'] as its parameter.

  It should use instance['display_name'] which is the name VMware used.
