https://pkg.go.dev/kubevirt.io/api/export/v1alpha1#VirtualMachineExportPhase
Currently disk-uploader keeps on retrying even when phase is skipped. Only in case of pending, we should continue to retry. Retry should depend on VMexport phase. This is figured out while testing vmsnapshots use cases : https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-56954

4.18

always

1. Create a vmsnapshot with a VM in stopped phase
2. 
3.

retry happen irrespective of virtualmachineexportphase

retry should only happen when phase is pending
