This particular test case was previously written with the assumption that moving an already suspended VS to suspend state will not return any exception from the provider and is a valid state transition. But this is not true anymore. Also, the the above test case used to XFAIL sometime back because of the problem in RequestedStateChange() bug. The provider now returns an exception when we try to suspend the VS which is already in suspended state. The exception is checked in the try_request_state_change() library function. The part of the code in the loop which we execute is not suppose to return any exception. Hence the code in the loop and the one in try_request_state_change() cannot be combined together. Regarding validating the req_state value after try_request_state_change() can be done to make sure the state still remains the same as it was in before calling the RequestStateChange().
