Change subject: core: fix NPE on addition of external vm ...................................................................... core: fix NPE on addition of external vm We add externally managed VMs using AddVmFromScratch command. This command is called by the monitoring thread so no user is set as the 'current user' when it is executed. Thus we got NPE when trying to set the its disk permissions. However, this kind of VMs are diskless VMs so we are not supposed to set disk permissions for it. Thus, changing AddVmCommand#addDiskPermissions in a way that the disk owners will not be retrieved for diskless VMs prevents the NPE.
