ODF/OCS: Liveness Probe restarts MDS pod as it transitions from Journal Replay Complete to Active.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

The OpenShift Liveness Probe restarts MDS pod as it transitions from Journal Replay Complete to Active.

When the Ceph MDS has completed a Journal Replay, there is a many, many minute period of time where it's transitioning to the Active state. During this time the MDS does not have a status of Replay nor does it have a status of Active. The OpenShift Liveness Probe determines this to be a problem and erroneously restarts the MDS pod.
