Allow manually to set up limits for Daemon pods on Openshift platform

Currently when we perform hot-add on a OCP node, SpectrumScale operator detects that and set that node into "Spectrum scale update" state. That means that all pods will be evicted from that worker, because operator has set that node into cordone state. Reasons why it is doing that is simple. It is changing the pod yaml specification of a  daemon on that node and it is matching the limit value to the new added resources. Because pod will restart, operator has to "prune" all pods from that worker. 

That type of behavior is totally unacceptable and unnecessary. If limits values were set to some fixed value, none of this would happen.
