Unable to get recent tasks list against ESXi host

[Ionut-Dan Nica]

Describe the bug

When trying to get recent tasks against an ESXi host we get this error message:

Can't load class 'vslmCatalogChangeResult'

Reproduction steps

1. connect to ESXi, get recent tasks list

2.  c = SmartConnect(host=ip, user=user, pwd=pwd, disableSslCertValidation=True)
    current_session_key = c.content.sessionManager.currentSession.key
    # Path for tasks
    tasks_list = c.content.taskManager.recentTask
   

3. Observe error message

Can't load class 'vslmCatalogChangeResult'

Expected behavior

I would expect to get the recent task list object.

Additional context

This error does not show if we run the same code against VCSA, only via ESXi, and with ESXi it is a bit intermittent, we can't seem to pinpoint a pattern to the intermittence
