sriov-cni-XXX and sriov-device-plugin-XXX pods continuously terminate and restart when creating an object of kind SriovNetworkNodePolicy with more than one spec.nodeSelector.

The following for example will lead to the issue:

cat <<'EOF' | oc apply -f - 
apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1
kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy
metadata:
  name: sriovens1f0vf0
  namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator
spec:
  deviceType: vfio-pci
  nicSelector:
    deviceID: "1015"
    pfNames:
    - "ens1f0#0-0"
    vendor: 15b3
  nodeSelector:
    serverType: iDRAC_9
    sriov: "true"
  numVfs: 8
  priority: 99
  resourceName: sriovens1f0vf0

Whereas the following does not exhibit the issue:

cat <<'EOF' | oc apply -f - 
apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1
kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy
metadata:
  name: sriovens1f0vf0
  namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator
spec:
  deviceType: vfio-pci
  nicSelector:
    deviceID: "1015"
    pfNames:
    - "ens1f0#0-0"
    vendor: 15b3
  nodeSelector:
    serverType: iDRAC_9
  numVfs: 8
  priority: 99
  resourceName: sriovens1f0vf0
EOF
