Research direction
Start with KvmFileBasedStorageVmSnapshotStrategy.deleteVMSnapshot and VMSnapshotManagerImpl.hasActiveVMSnapshotTasks, then reproduce the disk-only snapshot deletion with commands.timeout=MergeDiskOnlyVmSnapshotCommand=20. Trace the timeout or exception path and verify that the snapshot reaches Error rather than remaining Expunging, so reboot and later snapshot operations are no longer blocked.

Description
problem
KvmFileBasedStorageVmSnapshotStrategy.deleteVMSnapshot transitions the VM snapshot to Expunging during delete but doesn't transition it to Error state in case of exception or timeout
VMSnapshotManagerImpl.hasActiveVMSnapshotTasks counts Expunging as work in
progress, so operations like reboot and snapshot operations are blocked.
