When KRaft mode is enabled and we are trying the scenario when we bring the Kafka pods to Pending state with wrong configuration and then we are trying to bring it back to the Ready state, most of the pods are still in Pending state and one is CrashLooping.
The whole scenario is:

1. deploy Kafka with wrong pod template (looking for nonexistent node) kafka pods should not exist
2. wait for Kafka not ready, kafka pods should be in the pending state
3. fix the Kafka CR, kafka pods should be in the pending state
4. wait for Kafka ready, kafka pods should NOT be in the pending state

The full log of the failing pod can be seen at https://gist.github.com/im-konge/82db06d04cf83f4db2f3aaf657fdfe41
