Fix DBR stuck when CSI snapshot no longer exists in cloud provider (#9581)

* Fix DBR stuck when CSI snapshot no longer exists in cloud provider

During backup deletion, VolumeSnapshotContentDeleteItemAction creates a
new VSC with the snapshot handle from the backup and polls for readiness.
If the underlying snapshot no longer exists (e.g., deleted externally),
the CSI driver reports Status.Error but checkVSCReadiness() only checks
ReadyToUse, causing it to poll for the full 10-minute timeout instead of
failing fast. Additionally, the newly created VSC is never cleaned up on
failure, leaving orphaned resources in the cluster.

This commit:
- Adds Status.Error detection in checkVSCReadiness() to fail immediately
  on permanent CSI driver errors (e.g., InvalidSnapshot.NotFound)
- Cleans up the dangling VSC when readiness polling fails

Fixes #9579
