Libguestfs - Jun 2018 - [PATCH] v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Optimize only direct upload

The optimization to start the transfer on the local host makes sense
only when using the rhv-direct=true option. When using a proxy, let the
engine choose a host.

This avoids the issues with running on host from another dc[1] or host in
maintenance mode[2] when not using rh-direct=true. So I think this worth
a backport.

Backport means to RHEL 7?

If there are backports needed to RHEL 7, add a comment to the existing
bug referencing the upstream commit hashes (or if there is no suitable
bug, start a new one), and set the bug's state back to ASSIGNED.

We may need to ask for an exception in order to add anything to RHEL 7.6.

Thanks,

Rich.
