FCM for VMware: Change FMM0654E to warning or information

In FCM for VMware, a backup schedule fails with FMM0654E if a VM is not part of a datastore any more compared to a previous backups. This usually happens when a VM is being moved through vMotion. vMotion is a very frequent use case used in nearly every VMware installation, therefore a lot of backup schedules run into FMM0654E. Then the client always has to check: Did my schedule fail due to FMM0654E, or due to another error. This is very time consuming of there are dozens of backup schedules.
