Let's start with a retry interval of 5 seconds and double the time until
we reach 5 minutes, in case we keep getting errors. Reset the retry
interval in case we succeeded.
The two main reasons for having to retry are
- The hypervisor is busy and cannot process our request
- We cannot reach the desired requested_size (esp., not enough memory can
get unplugged because we can't allocate any subblocks).
