Doc Text:	Prior to this update, taking a snapshot of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 guest on the VMWare ESXi hypervisor failed if docker images were running on the guest. With this update, the vmtoolsd service properly quiesces the guest file system in the described scenario, which makes it possible for the snapshots to be taken.	Story Points:	---
