Description

Attached log extract on exact error.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a VMware compute resource.
Create a new vm with default options except for resource pool and host password.
On first submit it will say mac not set (regardless if you set it or not, see attached photo)
On second submit the merge issue appears (see the second attached photo)

About the setup:

Foreman is standalone and not joined to a domain, neither is the VMware host.
OS is Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.4.0-81-generic
Ruby Version: 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26) [x86_64-linux-gnu]

Goal: Setup auto provision of VM's from Foreman to Vmware.

Fixes #20118 - return error message

Fixes #20118 - display error instead of NilClass

In some scenarios when editing a host in Foreman, the VM may not
exist in VMware anymore, e.g. was deleted or uuid is missing.
The host is handled as a new VM, but cannot be saved.

In this case, an error message should be shown.
