Bug Description

A VXLAN DVS portgroup will contain the UUID of the netron network. It will not contain the name-UUID as proposed in patch 709127cabed602d6868dedf0bef7ca9547a86e06. The reason for this is that the the VC has a maximum length of 80 characters for the name of a port group. A VXLAN port group also needs to contain then DVS and VDN scope morefs.
The fact that the name is included in the search for the matching portgroup leads to instances not being able to be booted and a error 'No available host'

    Network: correct VMware DVS port group name lookup

    Commit 709127cabed602d6868dedf0bef7ca9547a86e06 added support
    for DVS network backends. The original design included the
    name of the network in the port group. The name was excluded due
    to VC limitations (maximum of 80 characters for a port group name).
    This prevents instances from being booted as there is no match
    for the port group.

    The fix ensures that we only use the Neutron network UUID.
