Bug Description

Every so often when rescuing an instance, the swap partition will be rescued. This seems to be due to a bug in vmops.py which assumes the rootfs VBD is going to be the second one returned if there are multiple disks (swap most likely is the first). This doesn't seem to be always true so it would make more sense to check for userdevice = "0".

More accurate rescue mode testing for XenAPI

    Update test_rescue to make sure the swap partition wasn't rescued. Since
    this test fails with the current code, I also updated the code so the test
    passed.
