Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2158614

When you try to delete a product that previously had an export created from, there is a high chance to run into a race condition that triggers an error raised from Candlepin (in 4.1.19 at least).

Initially this was found by running the Foreman Ansible Modules test suite for the content export feature, but it can also be reproduced rather reliably using the following script:

hammer organization create --name lulz
hammer product create --name lulz --organization lulz
hammer repository create --name lulz --content-type yum --product lulz --organization lulz
hammer content-export complete library --organization lulz
hammer content-export incremental library --organization lulz
hammer repository delete --name lulz --product lulz --organization lulz
hammer product delete --name lulz --organization lulz
hammer organization delete --name lulz

Having one export was not sufficient in my setup, but having two was.

The issue is that Katello tries to remove the export contents at the same time as it tries to remove the product. Now if the product deletion is quick, and the export one is not, the "next" export delete step will be refused with "product not found" error
