+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2070366 +++

Description of problem:

New "restore" PVC appears to be waiting on a CDI upload server pod to finish, but work is never sent to that pod.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.10.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a snapshot of a (in my case Running) VM
2. Shut down VM
3. Use UI to Restore to snapshot

Actual results:
VM is indefinitely in pending state, no log activity in cdi uploader pod

Expected results:
VM is recreated with PVC referencing VolumeSnapshot, and back-end snapshot class handles restore; VM starts quickly.

vm/datavolume/pvc yamls pre and post restore would be very helpful

This issue should only affect DataVolumes created via network clone operations.

Is a regression introduced in this PR: https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer/pull/1922

Michael, Adam, I think we should update this bug.

There are two fixes [1] [2] that were merged to CDI 1.49 which landed in OpenShift 4.11. Do we want to backport it to 1.43 so it fixes the bug in 4.10?
