Description of problem: After creating the DSCI and DSC, manually deleting the Service Mesh Control Plane does not result in the SMCP being re-created, though seem that it should (there is no spec on expected behavior according to Wen)

Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions):

Install operators

• Serverless
• Service Mesh
• RHODS 2.5

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create DSCI, with Service Mesh Enabled
2. Create DSC, with KServer Enabled
3. Verify that namespace istio-system contains the Service Mesh Control Plane (CR)
4. Manually Delete the Service Mesh Control Plane in namespace istio-system
5. Verify if the RHODS operator re-creates the SMCP

Actual results: SMCP is not re-created, after manually deleting

Expected results: SMCP should be re-created

Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once): Always

Build Details: RHODS 2.5 RC2

Workaround: Unknown. Perhaps delete and then recreate the DSCI, though it is not clear at all what impact doing so would have on RHODS.
