The GUI allowed to configure a host as it's own child and informs the user about this with a configuration warning message. But it allowed the user to save the host.

To fix this the user could not delete the host because the GUI prevents deletion of hosts which are still parent hosts. This check is now skipping the relation to itself which makes it possible to delete the host without editing the parent setting.
