In specific instances (for example with implementing tenants in the hostgroup with -t) the update process won't be able to create a new hostgroup and thus is not able to find the hostgroup.
To prevent this, the logic that calculates the hostgroup creation needs to be before any device consistency checks and device creation checks since these are the only 2 actions that require a hostgroup creation / sync.
