PAM Operator Continuously Fails to Reconcile Replication Controllers

Issue

When setting CPU Limits within a KieApp object using the millicore format for whole CPUs (e.g. 1000m instead of 1), the PAM Operator fails to reconcile the replication controller, leading to an endless loop that continuously generates replication controller objects.

If you experience this condition, you will notice that the "deploy" pod flaps between the Pending, ContainerCreating, and Terminating status states. And with each cycle, you will see a new replication controller object created. Over time, you may see a large number of the objects accumulating.

If you remove the CPU limit, use a whole number for the CPU limit or set the CPU limit to a fractional CPU limit, such as 1500m, the problem no longer occurs.
