Description of problem:For EUS->EUS upgrade we are supposed to turn off hco.spec.workloadUpdateStrategy, so that workload updates can only happen after upgrading to 4.12. However, that is currently not happening. Post upgrade to 4.11.0, I see hco.spec.workloadUpdateStrategy set to be LiveMigrate and workloads are live migrating.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.11.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Before upgrade set hco.spec.workloadUpdateStrategy to []
2. After upgrade check that hco.spec.workloadUpdateStrategy is set to LiveMigrate
3.

Actual results:
Before upgrade:

Expected results:
hco.spec.workloadUpdateStrategy should stay unaltered.

Additional info:
This impacts EUS->EUS upgrade. Without ability to pause workload updates till CNV is updated to 4.12, we can't achive EUS->EUS upgradability
