Regression: findall() raises NotFound Error when searching by name and nothing was found
### Actual behavior
_manager.findall(name=foo) raises NotFound exception when nothing was found

### Expected behavior
Empty list returned

### Execution environment

* zhmcclient version: 0.8.0 + master
* Operating system (type+version): ubuntu14
