[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 qemu-server 1/1] Do not start VM twice when rollbacking with --start

When rollbacking to the snapshot of a VM that includes RAM, the VM
gets started by the rollback task anyway, so no additional start task is
needed. Previously, when running rollback with the --start parameter
and the VM snapshot includes RAM, a start task was created. That task
failed because the VM had already been started by the rollback task.

Additionally documented this behaviour in the description of the --start
parameter

Changes v1 -> v2:
Do not parse config for checking type of snapshot but rather directly check
whether VM is running or not via check_running()
