Description of problem:

• While upgrading from 4.12.55 to 4.13.42 the network operator seems to be in a degraded state due to the ovnkube-master pods ending up in a crashloopbackoff.
   
  The ovnkube-master container appears to hit a context deadline timeout and is not starting. This happens for all 3 ovnkube-master pods.
