Description of problem:
The following exception occurs when spmStart fails on a host because spmStart was sent when storage was not connected:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Block connection between spm and master (single) storage
2. Check engine logs during spmStart
  
Actual results:
exception is visible in logs. spmStart is automatically resent after and succeeds

i wonder why no stacktrace on the NPE.

hiding in the log is missing toString on StatusForXmlRpc?

    core: trust the SpmStart task result during election
    
    After the spmStart task ended an additional getSpmStatus was issued
    to verify whether the host really became the SPM or not.
    This second command could fail on its own for several reasons (eg:
    temporary network failure, etc.) and its result wouldn't reflect the
    actual outcome of the spmStart task. Worst scenario: the SpmStart
    task succeeded and the getSpmStatus temporarily failed; this would
    cause the engine to proceed with the election on the next host.
    
    This patch is removing the additional getSpmStatus command trusting
    the spmStart task result.
