CA-28958: fix a VBD create/destroy race in the VBD.device 'autodetect' choosing 
logic.

A parallel VBD.destroy can come in and delete a VBD just before we attempt to 
look up the device field. Obviously it doesn't matter what device this VBD was 
since it has just been deleted... so just ignore it.
