[PVE-User] VM's consistently failing to start

[Lindsay Mathieson]

An update on this, we've definitely had no more problems with VM's failing to 
start, its been really good.

Additionally, I've had no more backup glitches, the last several cluster wide 
backups have run flawlessly. Prior to the kernel patch we were getting 
continual failures and I'd have to manually unlock the VM(s) and run the 
backup.
