Bug Description

When an instance has 0 root disk size an extra image is created on the datastore (uuid.0.vmdk that is identical to uuid.vmdk). This is only in the case of a linked clone image and wastes space on the datastore. The original image that is cached can be used.

    VMware: do not cache image when root_gb is 0

    Save space on datastore when the instance size has root_gb of
    0. There is no need to cache the disk as it already exists on
    the datastore.
