If the user tries to clone a VM while it's already being cloned, the name of the VM being cloned may be reused because Kimchi only avoids name conflicts by looking at the existing VMs, not the ones being created at the moment. When the second clone operation finishes, an error is raised because that name is already defined. Look at the names of the VMs being cloned, as well as the existing VMs', in order to avoid name conflicts when cloning a VM.
