cilium-olm operator rewrites the cilium-olm ConfigMap about once every 2 seconds

[domq]

watch -n 0.1 time oc -n cilium get ConfigMap cilium-olm -o jsonpath='"{ .metadata.resourceVersion }"'

shows the .metadata.resourceVersion increasing by 10–15 units every 2 seconds. (We can see that oc command is nearly instant, from the digits of time moving while the .metadata.resourceVersion stays fixed for a while, then increases as described.)

Lowering the Deployment's replicas to 0 stops the increase, at least until our OpenShift olm operator restores the replica count to 1.

2 seconds is the defaultRetryPeriod in leader elections, which might indicate a problem there (since a successful leader presumably shouldn't have to retry?).
